Rules for Writers Chapter 46

46a Read actively: Annotate the text:
My main ideas that I would find useful for me is to jotting down my questions and thoughts.  When you annotate a text as you read, you are doing something - engaging with your work, not letting the words slip past you.  Use a pencil instead of a highlighter, with a pencil you can underline key concepts, mark points, or circle elements that intrigue you. 

46b Try sketching a brief outline of the text:
By reading how to sketch your outline, I thought was very interesting, need to pay special attention to the texts thesis (central idea) and its topic sentences can be found at the beginnings of the most body paragraphs. 

How would I plan to use this information in my own writing?  I have started using this method for essays a long time ago,  I think it's very helpful for me because I'm a visual learner and need to write what I hear or see. 

Using the 46b technique it will very useful for me to outline everything.
