Our journey will start with a general overview of diigo and the completion of some introductory assignments. Diigo is an online tool that helps you bookmark, organize, and annotate (make notes) on webpages. It is something that you can utilize within this unit and throughout your life.

An annotation is a critical note (or series of notes) that is added to a text. When you read a novel or a webpage, questions and comments come to your mind.

• "Why does the ring have such a power over Frodo?"

• "This paragraph totally contradicts the last one. Why?"

• "What is the meaning of the title?"

These examples may seem unimportant, but it is through engaging/interacting with a text that meaning is created. This section will help you to think about the importance of annotating.
