Annotating is the act of making annotations. Annotations are notes on or around a text (say in the margins) with the purpose of helping you understand what you are reading better.

Each of the annotations on the example to the left corresponds with different strategies that, used in combination make for powerful annotations.
These strategies are:
1.) Prediction
2.) Definition
3.) Inquiry (Questioning)
4.) Inferring (have to double check this one)
5.) Visualize (tap into the image and feeling your 5 senses relay).
6.) Connection (connect the text to your experience or world knowledge)
7.) It says, I say, And so ? (so what)
8.) Synopsis or Summary
