And the best way to make yourself a part of it is by writing in it. Charles Van Doren. --- [Visual: The woman, Bernice, sits at a wooden desk with a reMarkable paper tablet.] Bernice: Hi, I'm Bernice. Here's how I annotate documents on reMarkable to engage with what I'm reading and absorb more information. [Visual: A top-down view of hands using a Marker on a reMarkable. The user highlights text in yellow.] Bernice: Let's start with highlighting main points and key statements. No need to overthink this one. I use that classic yellow color for bold, eye-catching highlights. [Visual: Bernice speaks from her desk.] Bernice: After you've finished your first read, I recommend going back through the document and selecting the five or so most important parts you highlighted. [Visual: The top-down view returns. The user draws a red star in the margin with the Marker.] Bernice: I draw a red star with the Marker in the margin next to these highlights. Later, when I'm reviewing the document, I can quickly see my main takeaways. [Visual: Bernice speaks from her desk.] Bernice: The key to effective highlighting is using it sparingly. [Visual: The top-down view returns. The user underlines text and draws a vertical line in the margin.] Bernice: You could draw a diagonal stroke to highlight an entire paragraph, but I find it adds too much clutter to the page. Instead, if you need to highlight more than just a few words, try underlining the sentence. Or drawing a vertical line next to the paragraph with the fineliner. Hold the end of the stroke to draw a straight line. [Visual: Bernice speaks from her desk.] Bernice: If you need to remind yourself why you underlined a passage, pan with two fingers to give yourself more space to write margin notes. [Visual: The user pans the document with two fingers, then writes a note in the margin.] [Visual: Bernice speaks from her desk.] Bernice: Sometimes, it can be helpful to analyze how an author constructs an argument. [Visual: The top-down view returns. The user highlights text in green, circles a word, and writes a note in the margin using blue ink.] Bernice: You can use a differently colored highlighter for this, or write the numbers next to the points in a sequence. If I see the author repeat an argument or a term in the text, I circle it and write the page number in the margin. I use blue ink to distinguish these references from my other notes. [Visual: Bernice speaks from her desk.] Bernice: Active reading is a conversation between you and the author. As you read, interrogate the text with your own thoughts and comments. It's great for your reading comprehension. [Visual: From the top-down view, the user writes notes at the bottom of the page.] Bernice: I save the space at the bottom of the page to write down my own reflections or any questions I might have. [Visual: Bernice speaks from her desk.] Bernice: One final tip. I like to add my annotations as a separate layer. [Visual: From the top-down view, the user taps an icon on the reMarkable, and all written annotations on the page disappear.] Bernice: So if I ever want to return to that clean, uncluttered reading experience, I can hide my annotations with a tap. [Visual: Bernice speaks from her desk.] Bernice: I hope these techniques help you become a better reader, whether you're reading for work or pleasure.
