Otherwise, fold word definitions into a larger explanation of a phrase, line, etc. • Be concise. This should be a space where multiple contributors can add to each note. • Use third person only. • Don't just rephrase the line. Instead, add context, interpretation, and/or multimedia (see below). • Add pictures and videos to help illustrate a line, or to support your argument about the text. • If you quote a source, use quotation marks and cite it. If you paraphrase an argument from another source, cite it. Not only will you avoid plagiarism, you'll create a much more helpful annotation.
