When you write an annotation, you provide more than a summary. Annotations provide analysis, exposing the author's position and goals. Consider how the work helps to shape your own argument. Really good analysis at this stage can often make your final paper much stronger.
Students are advised to get their writing revised at The Writing Center on campus, whether it be a paper or a resume.
