Note to instructors: this assignment is structured to allow for student annotations of a PDF in Canvas, but I highly recommend using Hypothesis or Perusall instead to make the annotation social and collaborative. You can use those tools either independently or integrated with your LMS. Students have told me they love being able to read each others' annotations and reply to classmates' comments, and this makes for richer class discussion.
