At least one of your annotations must provide a specific example of how you can implement the strategies identified. This may be a general approach to patient care, a specific question to integrate into an assessment, a specific phrase to build rapport, etc. Reflect on the difference between “usual care” and “trauma-informed care” and why this example is beneficial.
Here is some guidance for what you might include in your other annotations:
Summarize: What is the state of prior research on this topic? What research gaps does the author intend to ameliorate?
Identify and summarize the data that are used to examine the research questions.
Identify and summarize the major findings and the overall implications of the study.
At the end of the text, add an annotation to summarize what you believe to be the key ideas/points of the text, or ask a question that you feel was left unanswered, or which you’re still unsure about.
