Love the idea of annotating your books but don't know where to start? Or maybe you've tried and it felt more like homework than a meaningful experience? This video is for you.
I'm sharing an annotation workshop designed to make annotation feel approachable and not academic, while still creating some structure.
*What's inside this workshop*
Learn how to annotate fiction in a way that:
* Deepens your understanding
* Tracks your emotional experience
* Makes reading experience richer
* Feels enjoyable, not like homework and doesn’t ruin the reading experience
🎁 Free printable linked in the description & pinned comment:
The printable includes:
A one-page annotation guide
