Teacher models how to turn clustered quotes into insight statements using a template: “Many viewers feel ___ when they see ___ because ___.” Students examine an example connected to Alma Thomas’s use of vibrant color and discuss how historical context (segregation, Civil Rights era) may shape emotional interpretation. Students draft one insight statement grounded in their own clustered evidence.
