A common way to color code annotations is to use colors to represent different types of information or arguments. Here's a simple and effective system:
- Green: Evidence (facts, data, statistics)
- Red: Counterarguments (opposing viewpoints, weaknesses)
- Blue: Supporting Material (explanations, background information, examples)
This system helps you quickly identify the type of information you're looking for when reviewing your annotations. You can adapt this system to fit your own needs and preferences. For example, you might add additional colors for themes, questions, or personal reactions. The key is to be consistent with your chosen color scheme.
