Unit 3

Lesson 1: All About Poetry

Reading Mini-‐Lesson

Mini Lesson: (Review of PoeHc Elements) –Use the Poetry Anthology 1.  Read “The Moon’s the North Wind’s Cookie” aloud to students.

Post the following quesHons: How many stanzas does this poem have? Are there a certain number of lines per stanza? Does the poem rhyme? If so, is there a pa=ern to the rhyme? Does the author repeat any lines? Use the Poetry Anthology packet. Give each student a copy. Have students work in partners to invesHgate the posted quesHons. Confer with students and note where students are having difficulty with these basic concepts about poetry. When students are finished, bring the class back together to discuss the quesHons and tell them that have done a great job of invesHgaHng the structure of the poem. Explain to students that you are going to read the poem again and want them to listen closely to how the poet creates rhythm in the poem. They will be listening for where they hear pauses and when you stress certain words or parts of words, which both contribute to the meter. They will also be using what they noHced about the stanzas, lines, and rhyme pa"ern. Discuss what the students noHced/heard overall. Then, reread certain stanzas to elaborate certain points about pausing (e.g., end of lines, commas, semi-‐colons, dashes) and meter . Reread the poem all the way through one Hme overemphasizing the meter. You may want to have students underline the syllables they hear stressed. Have students note in their journals how the rhyme, meter, and rhythm in a poetry helps in the reading and understanding of poems.

you feel?

“The Moon’s the North Wind’s Cookie”

“He bites it day by day” PersonificaHon – The author wants to show how the moon slowly disappears.

Lesson 3: Analyzing Poetry


Mini Lesson: How do I analyze poetry to help understand the author’s meaning? SomeHmes when author’s wriHng poetry, they use words and language that may seem confusing to us. We can analyze the poems and interpret the language used to help us be"er understand. Use the poem, “Casey at the Bat” as a mentor text. Today’s Ques6ons: How can I understand what an author is trying to say in a poem? Introduce the poem, Casey at the Bat. Read it out loud to students once or twice. Emphasize the rhythm and rhyme of the poem. Are there other elements in this poem that can help you be"er understand the poem? NarraHve poems tell stories about events. NarraHve poems include characters, sefng, and plot. “Casey at the Bat” is a famous poem about a ba"er whose over-‐confidence contributes to his team losing the game. Points to hit through mini-‐lessons: 1.  IdenHfy Elements of poetry: rhyme, rhythm, tone, imagery, figuraHve language (create a chart in response

journals to record elements of poetry and examples from the text) 2.  Vocabulary: This poem has a bit of vocabulary that will be unfamiliar to the students. How can they use

context and other clues to figure out what the words mean? How does understanding the vocabulary help you understand the poetry?

3.  Analyze Poetry: Now that students have idenHfied the elements of the poem and used their context clues skills to figure out the meaning of unknown words, have them analyze the poem. What does it mean? What message is the author trying to say?

Aher mini-‐lessons, give students ample Hme to work collaboraHvely and individually. They should record their thinking in their reading response journals. Also, show students where in the classroom library they can find poetry books. When reading poetry as an independent reading choice, students can

Thinking Stems/Anchor Chart: Forma6ve Assessment Opportuni6es: 1.  The character of Casey tells us a

li"le bit about the difference between being confident and being

too confident. Was Casey too confident? Was there ever a Hme in

your life when you felt overconfident about something?

What happened? 2.  The Mudville Hens lost the game

that day. Do you think this was Casey’s fault? When you are part of a team, is it right to blame one

teammate for winning or losing? Is it one player’s responsibility or the

enHre team’s win or loss? 3.  If someone from the other team

was wriHng a poem about this same baseball game, do you think the story might be told a li"le

differently? How might they have changed it a bit in their “narraHve”

of events?

Lesson Comparing a Poem and Prose Summary of a Poem


Learning Target: Lesson Seed #13 I can compare a poem to a prose summary of a poem. Ac6vity: (RL.4.5, W.4.8) You may find that before doing this seed you will need to spend some 6me with your students on the structural elements of poetry and the structural elements of prose. This will depend on the informa6on you gather from seed #12. According to the thesaurus, stanzas and verses are synonyms. “Technically, a stanza is a succession of lines that form a poem or song, and a verse is either a single line of wriHng or a series of lines in a song.” RL.4.5 refers to verse as one of the structural elements of poetry. This seed is intended to span over two or more days, depending on your class needs. You will be using “Casey at the Bat” by Ernest Thayer from 101 Great American Poems and a prose summary of “Casey at the Bat” (LINK). It is strongly suggested that students have access to the text being used in this seed. Provide students first with the poem “Casey at the Bat.” Read aloud the poem to students, modeling how to pause at line breaks, how to stress and unstress different syllables, and how to create rhythm as you read. As you read, you want to make your thinking visible to students. This can be performed by either projecHng it for students to see, or by blowing the text up and pufng on chart paper. The focus is not just on what the poem means, but also on the structural elements of the poem. Aher you mark your thinking, transfer the big ideas onto the anchor chart. Provide students with the prose summary of “Casey at the Bat.” Have students read this together, marking their thinking and things they noHce on the prose summary. Support them as they work. Do they noHce that the prose summary visually looks different from the poem? Bring students back together and record the things they noHced on the anchor chart. You may find that you need to provide addiHonal support by adding to the chart for them if they aren’t able to come up with any relevant characterisHcs of prose.


Forma6ve Assessment Opportuni6es: These can be wriXen and/or spoken. This seed as a whole will help you determine where to go next instruc6onally. Compare the poem “Casey at the Bat” to the prose summary of “Casey at the Bat.” What are the similariHes between the two? What are the differences? How do the structural elements of poetry contribute to the differences between the two versions?

Summary of “Casey at the Bat”

The Mudville Nine was down to the visiHng team four to two with only one inning leh to play. Two players had already struck out, and the crowd was waiHng for Casey to come to bat. They felt he was their only hope, but there were sHll two players in front of Casey. The two players, Blake and Flynn, weren’t very good but they were able to each get on a base. Jimmy Blake landed at second base and Flynn made it to third base. The crowd of 5,000 erupted with cheer as Casey approached the bat. They knew that Casey was the one who would be able to win this game for them! Casey walked up to bat confidently and calmly, smiling along the way. Casey watched as the first ball was thrown but he didn’t swing. He said, “That ain’t my style” The umpire called strike and the crowd went mad. They started yelling to kill the umpire because they were angry about the strike, but Casey held up one hand and the crowd calmed down. Casey signaled to the pitcher and the second ball was thrown. Casey ignored this ball too and the umpire yelled “strike two” This Hme the crowd yelled “fraud” but stopped as soon as Casey gave them a scornful look. They watched his muscles Hghten up and knew that Casey wouldn’t let that ball go by again. The crowd watched as the pitcher let the ball go. Casey swung his bat but all he hit was air. Casey struck out a third Hme! Somewhere men are laughing and somewhere bands are playing, but in Mudville there is not joy because Casey struck out at that bat.

Lesson Comparing a Poem and Prose Summary of a Poem


Learning Target: I can crah a wri"en response comparing a poem to a prose summary of a poem. Ac6vity: (RL.4.5, W.4.4, W.4.9) The purpose of this seed is for you to model how to take the informaHon from the anchor chart and crah a wri"en response to the thinking stem: Use the structural elements of poetry to compare and contrast the poem “Casey at the Bat” to the prose summary of “Casey at the Bat.” Begin by reading the thinking stem aloud. Post it so that students can see it. Use this Hme as an opportunity to model a good wriHng response for your students. Think aloud as you write. You want students to hear the process as they watch you write. Aher you have crahed a parHal wri"en response, give the students the same thinking stem and have them conHnue to work to crah a wri"en response.


Forma6ve Assessment Opportuni6es: Looking at their wriHng, which students were able to crah their own wri"en response? Were students able to complete the wri"en response that you began modeling?

Lesson Comparing a Poem and Visual Display of the Poem


Learning Target: I can compare a poem to the visual interpretaHon of the poem. I can crah a wri"en response comparing a poem to a prose summary of a poem. Ac6vity: (RL.4.5, RL 4.7, W.4.4, W.4.9) The purpose of this seed is for you to model how to take the informaHon from the anchor chart and crah a wri"en response to the thinking stem: Use the structural elements of poetry to compare and contrast the poem “Casey at the Bat” to the visual representa6on of “Casey at the Bat.” Provide students first with the poem “Casey at the Bat.” Read aloud the poem to students, modeling how to pause at line breaks, how to stress and unstress different syllables, and how to create rhythm as you read. As you read, you want to make your thinking visible to students. This can be performed by either projecHng it for students to see, or by blowing the text up and pufng on chart paper. The focus is not just on what the poem means, but also on the structural elements of the poem. Aher you mark your thinking, transfer the big ideas onto the anchor chart. Then, show students the visual representaHon of the poem. Add to the anchor chart previously created to compare the poem and the prose summary. How is this version different. What does it do for you as a reader? How does it affect your comprehension of the story? (Think about how the visual representaHon helps the reader understand difficult vocabulary by allowing the reader to see the acHons and emoHons of the characters). WriHng the Response: Begin by reading the thinking stem aloud. Post it so that students can see it. Use this Hme as an opportunity to model a good wriHng response for your students. Think aloud as you write. You want students to hear the process as they watch you write. Aher you have crahed a parHal wri"en response, give the students the same thinking stem and have them conHnue to work to crah a wri"en response.

Lesson Explaining Difference Between Poetry, Drama and Prose (Review)


Learning Target: Lesson Seed #12 I can explain major differences between poetry, drama and prose. Ac6vity: (RL.4.5, RL.4.1, SL.4.1) According to the thesaurus, stanza and verse are synonyms. “Technically, a stanza is a succession of lines that form a poem or song, and a verse is either a single line of wriHng or a series of lines in a song.” RL.4.5 refers to verse as one of the structural elements of poetry. You will be using three separate texts for this seed. This seed is intended to span over two or more days. Suggested texts for this seed are “Tales of a 4th Grade Nothing” –play (or any drama), “Casey at the Bat” from 101 Great American Poems in the exemplar texts (or any other poem), and The Sign of the Beaver (or any prose). Students will need access to all three texts. Feel free to use other texts that would saHsfy the intent of this seed. Group students in groups of 4 or 5. Each group will receive all three texts and a piece of chart paper. Show them how to set up their anchor chart (see below) into three columns. The Htle of each text goes at the top of each column. Students are to work together to compare the different texts and chart what they noHce about each text. The level of support you provide will depend on what your students are able to discover as they work together. Aher groups have charted a few items they noHce, post them and allow students to do a gallery walk. Make sure you set the expectaHons for a gallery walk: read each chart and use your post-‐it notes to post any quesHons or comments your group may have for the other group. Aher the gallery walk, groups get their own chart back and have an opportunity to read the feedback others provided. They can add to/change their charts. As a group, look for commonaliHes between the different charts. Start a class anchor chart. This is your chance to clear up any misconcepHons your students may have. Aher this acHvity, you will need to make some instrucHonal decisions. Do you need to spend more Hme on poetry? Drama?


Forma6ve Assessment Opportuni6es: Based on what informaHon students are able to generate on their charts, then you may need to form small groups or plan whole class instrucHon to go deeper into the structural elements of poems, drama and/or prose.

Stephen leaned against the wooden fence, resHng his chin on the top. He could see the small herd of deer grazing near the group of trees inside their enclosure. They were so beauHful! The brown coats reminded him of the inside of a caramel-‐filled chocolate bar.

Then, suddenly, a white shape emerged from behind the

trees. It was a goat just like the others, but this one had a beauHful white coat. His classmate Joanna tapped him on the arm and said knowingly, “It’s an albino goat. I read about them in a book.”
