 * Suggested Activities ** [see Legend to highlight MCO and HYS]

Create a Poetry Journal to be used throughout the unit. As you and the students read (recite) poems throughout this unit, ask them to collect words that they like in their journals, write poems, and/or illustrate poems to show meaning.

Use a poem such as “Eating While Reading” (Gary Soto) to illustrate how each new line builds meaning on the preceding lines. Have students read multiple poems aloud to each other, explaining their understanding of the poem, line by line and stanza by stanza. (RL.3.5)

Group students and give each group a stanza from the poem //“The Grass”// by Emily Dickinson. Ask students to determine the meaning of their stanza. Then have students to work together to determine how the stanzas should be ordered in the poem. After students have organized the poem, read it aloud and ask… “Does it make sense? Does it flow in meaning?” Then, read aloud the poem in the correct order. Discuss how each stanza or line builds on its predecessor for meaning.

Project and read aloud the text for the poem “The Grass on the Mountain” by Mary Austin. Conduct a discussion of unfamiliar words or phrases. Have students to illustrate the poem using imagery. Post illustrations with the poem’s text.

Give students a copy of the poem “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” by William Wordsworth. Have students to read the poem silently. Then read it aloud several times, modeling fluent reading. Choose an interesting word from the poem because of the way it sounds or what it means. Discuss the meaning and give students a chance to correctly use them in a sentence.

 * Grammar Skills: **
 * ******SEE 3RD GRADE COMMON CORE SCOPE AND SEQUENCE FOR ALL GRAMMAR/LANGUAGE AND WRITING SKILLS FOR THIS UNIT OF INSTRUCTION.****** **

Affixes: Display this list of common Latin suffixes (e.g., //-able, -ible, -ation, -fy, -ify, -ment, -ty, -ity//): Write the following words: //likeable, readable, drivable, laughable//, and //teachable//. Ask students: What does each word have in common with the rest? (Answer: the same Latin suffix //-able//) Then explain that this is an example of a Latin suffix. See if students can determine the meaning of each word. Have students use whiteboards to write the root word for each (i.e., //like, read, drive, laugh//, and //teach//). Then ask students: What part of speech is read? (Answer: verb) Explain that when we add the suffix -able, it becomes a different part of speech (i.e., an adjective). Then use the new word in a sentence so that students see the part of speech change. For example, “I was surprised to find this thick book was very readable.” Then explain that readable describes the book, which means it’s an adjective. Extend this lesson by continuing to collect words that end in -able or -ible. (RF.3.3b, L3.2e, L.3.4b) **REPEAT THIS LESSON USING OTHER COMMON SUFFIXES.**
