Questioning and predicting were found most useful asthey led to a transformation from passive reading to a deeper level of comprehension.
A project listed in "Remarking on Annotation", Annotating Austen, includes annotation guidelines. These guidelines are broad enough to welcome a variety of interactions, while also providing an instructive framework for students.

The investigator is staggered by the findings and conclusions of thousands of other workers—conclusions which he cannot find time to grasp, much less to remember, as they appear.
This astonishment at the "findings and conclusions of thousands of other workers" seems connected to our "information overload" not only in the amount of information available, but in how we relate to it. There is so much out there; is this useful in de-centering individual intellectual authority, or harmful in making all discourse relative?
