Underlining is a perfect tool to call attention to the parts of the text that we want to notice in a more thorough review, unlike highlighting which is most helpful for a quick look over. So key terms and secondary points are both great things to underline. But so are any little things of note! Whether it's something that connects back to an earlier idea or another work, an idea that seems surprising, or a statement we question as a reader, these are all prime candidates for underlining and therefore keeping in mind throughout future read-throughs. This will help us point to ideas and terms which are important to understand while reading. And just like before, by hunting for these key terms, smaller points, and interesting statements to mark up, we will engage more deeply with the scholarly work and understand how the author's ideas fit together.
Alright, let's underline:

Now that we've emphasized the portions of the text that should stand out, it's time for a personal touch. Annotations are a way to expand on highlights and underlines. They're helpful to have alongside the actual text itself since they're made by each reader and therefore are perfectly shaped to each person's style.
As such, it's up to preference how to make annotations. Should we write in the margins? Or keep our notes organized in a separate space?
