The first columnist basically told you everything there is to know, but I wanted to rephrase and maybe add a little bit more.
Basically, you take notes on the book, on ANYTHING you feel like. Like, if someone trips and you think it's funny, you could write yourself a note about it, like how it made you feel.
But, it's probably best if you take notes on major plot points, themes, motifs, characters, and important things.
This way, if you have to quote something later, you can check out your post-it/sticky notes, and you can find the quote really easily, or the part in the story where something happens.
By the way, I didn't know what annotating was until my friend Laura told me she had to do it for her AP English class.

Its reading a book and writing your thoughts in it/on post-it notes. You also find literary devices such as, similes, metaphors, rhyme schemes etc.
Somethimes, your teacher will give you an annotation focus. This helps guide what you should annotate rather then everything, like one would normally do.
You write your thoughts if someone gets hit in the head with a ball in the book, it may get you thinking ow, that must have hurt. so you could write something along the lines of::
*why would someone do that?
*who did that?
*well, they did do this before, so i guess they deserve it.
understand?
