DESCRIPTION
Examples "When you annotate a text, you underline, highlight, draw arrows, and make marginal comments. Annotating is a way of making the text your own, of literally putting your mark on it--noting its key passages and ideas." (John C. Bean, Virginia Chappell, and Alice M. Gillam, Reading Rhetorically. Pearson Education, 2004) (Morris, J.M. (1959). Reading in the primary school: An investigation into standards of reading and their association with primary school characteristics. London: Newnes, for National Foundation for Educational Research.) The author reports on a large-scale investigation into English children's reading standards and their relation to conditions such as size of classes, organization and methods of teaching. The report is based on inquires in sixty schools in Kent and covers 8,000 children learning to read English as their mother tongue. The work is notable for thoroughness of research techniques.

Visual Example
Imagery
Imagery is the use of figurative language to describe an idea, action, setting, etc. in a way that appeals to one or more of the five senses.
Imagery uses rhetorical images. Examples of imagery include, similes,
metaphors, onomatopoeias, and much more. Imagery is everywhere, in song lyrics, books,
speeches, etc.
Examples
His eyes were as blue as the sky. The flowers were dancing in the
wind. POP! POW! SPLAT!
Visual Example
Conceit
A type of figurative language that takes two or more objects that are extremely different from each other, but uses similes and metaphors to liken them.
Conceits are described as extended metaphors, and are supposed to be clever comparisons.
They are often used to surprise the reader or amuse the reader.
Examples
“Two lovers with the two legs of a draftsman’s compass.”
In Sonnet 130, Shakespeare makes a point of not using typical comparisons when describing his mistress: My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;Coral is far more red than her lips' red;If now be white, why then her breasts are dun;If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.I have seen roses damasked, red and white,But no such roses I see in her cheeks;And in some perfumes is there more delightThan in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
Visual Example
Activity
Students will pick out two classmates, and the two will go up against the board facing the class. A word or sentence will be shown on the board, only 4 students will be picked on to give one hint. They cannot give obvious hints or just say what is written on the board. The one who guesses the Rhetorical Device first wins.
Annotation
The thick, humid air felt as if you were breathing in water.
