Conclusion
It seems difficult to give annotation a specific definition. It should be adapted to each, and adapted depending on the results / the way they were received.

Some tutors believe it is their obligation to mark the essay’s content and leave language matters to the study skills tutor.
Annatation are worthless if they are made by obligation and not to give interactive and worthful feedbacks.
Where students were asked to annotate, she argued that annotation was a powerful strategy to steer difficult material and encourage active reading
Annotating helps student being in an active reading position.
a danger with annotations is that they curtail the independent thought and style of the student.
Annotation may not work depending on the profile of the one receiving it.
The downside to all of this presupposes that students actually read their annotated scripts, as it is often thought that students fail to read feedback
Feedback are only working when the one receiving it actually cares and try to improve.
Any written feedback process however, should be made with a view to transforming problems to improve the situation for the next time
Feedback purpose
Annotation then is a more intimate exegesis in which feedback shifts from a separate sheeted-template that is placed at the front of the essay, to a textual interaction where “the annotator slips in between reader and text with a note”
Annotation gives specific feedback when the general feedback doesn't help that much the student to improve.
A function of feedback is therefore to engage students fully in the formative stage, capture their enthusiasm, and reinforce good advice promoting learning and not failure
Feedback is here to engage not just to say if its true or wrong. It is a conversation, an interaction.
They wander, collect, organise, interpret, mark…. The degree to which these annotations are writings on their own forms a dimension … between reading and writing” (1998b, p. 41). Marshall is suggesting that the dimension of interpretation lies between the interstices of reading and writing, where value, tone, purposefulness and such like are translated into meaning.
Writing some annotation can should allow the reader to interact and understand more the reading.
In short, annotation should have scope, depth and purposefulness, visual impact and appropriateness.
How an annotation should be in order to give the best feedbacks and help.
Feedback is about playing-back to the student their summative understanding of a topic encapsulated on paper – it is an agreed assessment process designed to measure progress, correct errors, improve performance and close gaps between the intended purpose of the essay and the actual result
feedbacks and annotations are powerful tools for growth, development and understandings.
A study of the literature shows that relevant summative feedback is of most benefit to the student
learning is by trying then getting feedbacks to understand what is the next step. Figuring out yourself the conclusion of an action can be really difficult and take long. That is why feedbacks are important for students.
surrogate-perception
surrogate perception might refer to perceiving or sensing something indirectly
Students who receive evaluative annotations are more likely to pay closer attention to feedback than are students who receive the same material without annotation.
Annotation is a powerful feedback for students to improve. It allows them to have a feedback exactly where it's needed and on the context for better understandings.
Thus, undertaking a literature review on annotation is based on its current revival
Annotating always existed since medieval writing but at some points depending on the technologies it was less or more used. Nowadays with the online technology, it is really easy to annotate and moreover to share them instantly.
writing in the margins or using the comment tool in word-processing packages to feedback on students’ work is now common practice.
Annotating is more common than we think it is, especially in the area of school especially between students and teachers.
This means that an inductive method of assessment is currently in use and not supported by a legitimate evidence base.
Annotating should be easy and intuitive. There are not scholar rules originally.
