(4.) Though this group of children, almost all of whom were White, did not live near a large Native American population and probably had had little if any personal interaction with American Indians, they all had internalized an image of what Indians were like. How did they know? Cartoon images, in particular the Disney movie Peter Pan, were cited by the children as their number-one source of information. At the age of three, these children already had a set of stereotypes in place. Though I would not describe three-year-olds as prejudiced, the stereotypes to which they have been exposed become the foundation for the adult prejudices so many of us have.
How I annotated this paragraph was by underlining the key information, and leaving comments for me to understand the paragraph much better. This helps me a lot because, I don't have to read and go over again to memorize what has happen. Doing the annotation, I can just read the underline sentences and the comments I put that was important to me to refresh my memory. If I didn't do the annotation, I would take more time and it will consume how much time I have left which would be wasteful. Annotation is important because its an easy way to take notes and helps you understand more about it then just reading the whole thing.
