Guided Learning Activity on Annotation

STOP: Before you proceed with this activity, please go back to the previous page in this module and watch the video about completing GLA activities. It will answer many questions you might have about completing your submissions, and it will save you time. The directions in the video apply to all GLA assignments.

Guided Learning Activities (GLAs) are offered through the Reading and Writing Center and give students a brief introduction to various reading and writing skills. Many GLAs include brief quizzes to help students process the material. When I assign a GLA, I'd like you to take the quizzes embedded in the GLAs for practice, but I will not see the results, so don't worry about your score.

The last activity in most GLAs is a final reflection on what you have learned. You will not complete the reflection exercise at the end of the GLA modules. Those scores do not get sent to me, so I have no way to access your answers. Instead, please return here to fill out the answers in this check-in quiz so that I can see your responses and give you credit. Once you have answered the two questions, you are done with the GLA and will receive your points. This assignment may be turned in up to one week late before it closes.

The GLA activity in this module focuses on how to annotate a textbook, academic article, or anything else you need to read actively in college. Annotation is an academic word for engaging with what you read through taking notes, asking questions, and drawing connections to other material you are learning.
