Soooo how I would annotate is:
- looks like first person POV – circle six “I”‘s in the title and first stanza
- I wonder if that pic is actually the author (probably not).
- not sure exactly what “pout” means – bubble cloud that – probably means cry or act like a baby
- The rhyme pattern looks like lines 2 and 4, 6 and 8, 10 and 12 and so on.
- Who is she talking to when she says, “I don’t want you around” ?
- CONNECT – When I was young, I DID try to run away, lol to my granny’s house, I made it like one block then got scared.
- This girl is conflicted with herself – big time.
(Notice I used periods only when the annotation was a complete sentence.)
Continue annotating on page 30. Make questions and connections. Cloud bubble words you aren’t sure about. Write short notes about everything you notice.
