@Bel2 ...
Are you wanting to highlight some text that your instructor has given you to read for the course? What form is the text in? Is it a Word document? A PDF file? Text within a content page of Canvas? In general, Canvas does not have any tools that allow you to highlight text that you are reading. If the text was within a content page of your course, you could select all the text, paste it into a Word document, and then use the highlight tool as needed. Even better would be if your instructor provided a copy of the text for you to download so that you could do highlighting on your own? Sometimes, instructors will use third-party external tools (these are called LTIs in Canvas) from places like book publishers. I don't know the capabilities of those third-party applications and whether or not they offer any highlighting tools. That would be a question for the publishers of those tools and not Canvas.
I hope I've been able to provide some ideas of how you might go about highlighting text. Check with your instructor to see if he/she has any other suggestions...or would be willing to provide electronic files of the material for you and your students. You can use this Guide to contact your instructor: How do I get help with Canvas as a student?
Good luck!
