An annotation is somewhat of a summarry of what you have just read. It is also an explanatory or critical comment to a text. We annotatate text because we want to read between the lines of the text. We also annotate text so we can get a better understanding of what we have read.
So, what does someone do if he or she is annotating text, Madisen? How would you explain the process to a fifth-grader?

If some one is trying to annotate a text they have to: Read and reread the text and scan through the text quickly the first time, just to get a sense of its contents. Then they have to start annotating, circling or underlining important, interesting or surprising passages. If I had to explain this process to a fifth grader I would tell them that annotating a text is the act of writing notes and making marks on the text you are reading.
