Throughout the week, read several books that use idioms as the text (//__In a Pickle and Other Funny Idioms, Mad as a Wet Hen!: And Other Funny Idioms, Scholastic Dictionary of Idioms (Revised __//)) to discuss the phrase “idiomatic sayings”. Have students to record examples in their Poetry Journal.

Read the story //__Amelia Bedelia__//. Then assign the students this prompt: “Choose an idiomatic saying from the book. Draw a picture of the literal and figurative meaning of the saying. Write a short paragraph to explain to someone like Amelia Bedelia why it is important to know what the saying really means.” Find examples of more idioms on the internet. (RL.3.4, RI.3.5, L.3.4a, L.3.5a) (EC, IC, S) (SN, NL, CL) **SEE IDIOMATIC GRAPHIC ORGANIZER**
 * Lesson Plan/Amelia Bedelia: **@http://k6educators.about.com/cs/lessonplanskin/a/lessonplan46c.htm

ESL Idioms: @http://www.eslcafe.com/idioms/id-mngs.html Have students look up a word in an [|online thesaurus]. Have them write all the antonyms, synonyms, word parts etc on the [|Graphic Organizer]
 * (ART TEACHER): ** Building on the use of verbs, idioms, and dramatic reading, show the students //Number 31// (Pollock) and //Canyon// (Frankenthaler). Ask students: What words come to mind when you see these paintings? What words might you use to describe the colors? The texture? What forms do you see? Is there action in the paintings? How so? Define any of the words used (i.e., texture, shape, form, etc.). Review the difference between realism and abstraction. (L.3.1, L.3.3, L.3.5, SL.3.1, SL.3.3)
