- In 5th grade ELA with Ms. Green, students were assigned to reread a poem from the anthology and annotate (write notes in the margins) about any imagery—words that help you picture something. The discussion question is: "What images does the poet create, and how do they help the mood?" Keisha opens her anthology and says, "In the second stanza, I wrote 'imagery' next to 'silver moonlight spilled on the lake,' and that picture makes the poem feel calm." Rowan says, "It's a nice poem," but he cannot point to any lines. Diego says, "I marked the line about 'whispering pines,' and it makes the setting feel quiet," and he shows his margin note. Leah says, "I didn't annotate," and tries to copy what Keisha said. What should students do to prepare for a discussion like this?
