 * Grade: 5 Unit: 1 Week: 1 Content: Language Arts Dates: 8/20-8/24 **

**Theme Essential Question:** Why and how do we play with language?

**Essential Questions:** How can playing with vocabulary, like literal and figurative language, enable the learner to understand how to write about language incorporating word origins?


 * Standards: **
 * Objectives: **
 * Apply understanding of poetic devices (e.g., figure of language), word relationship, and nuances in word meanings in one’s own writing of original poems.
 * Make use of phonics, word analysis skills, syllabication patterns and morphology to accurately read unfamiliar words in and out of context.


 * Cross Curricular Standards: **

Products:
 * Cross Curricular Objectives: **
 * Assessment: **
 * Students will be able to create their own poetry and use at least two of the techniques discussed.
 * Students will create a Venn diagram to compare and contrast two types of poetry and pick a style of poetry that they think is “best”. Then bring their reasons to a group to discuss their opinions.
 * Students create “funny” lines and determine what makes the line “funny”.

Key Questions:
 * How does vocabulary help you understand what the writer’s intentions are in his/her writing?
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">How does understanding literal and figurative language allow you to be a better writer?
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">How can understanding word origins help you as a reader and a writer?

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Observable Student Behaviors:
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Using various texts, students will mark similes, metaphors, alliteration and onomatopoeia with coded Post-it notes as they are observed, during whole class instruction.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Students will recite a “funny” poem, using expression and other fluency reading and presentation skills.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">**Suggested Activities:** [see Legend to highlight MCO and HYS]
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">PowerPoint Presentations for teaching poetry. This is a website with PowerPoints on the various elements of figurative language; simile & metaphors, alliteration, etc. Great introduction to the unit of poetry. (HYS – SD)


 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Poets use a variety of formats, rhyme schemes, poems (list of PCSSD purchased books that go with the unit) and meters. They also use specific devices to make their poems unique. As poetry is shared, explicitly explain poetic techniques and assist students in finding examples of these (eg., similes, metaphors, alliteration, and onomatopoeia). (From Read, Write, Think) (MCO – EC, S& HYS – SD, CQO)

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Additional poetry mentioned in this unit are:
 * 1) <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">And the Dish Ran Away with the Spoon (Janet Stevens and Susan Stevens Crummel ) *Inside the kindergarten unit 6
 * 2) <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">The Echoing Green (William Blake)
 * 3) <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf (Roald Dahl)
 * 4) <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Eletelephony (Laura Richards)
 * 5) <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">My Shadow (Robert Louis Stevenson)
 * 6) <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Runny Babbit: A Billy Sook (Shel Silverstein)
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">As an individual and as a class, keep an index card file of words and phrases learned from the stories and poems in this unit, especially homonyms (i.e., sea, sea; to, two, too, etc.) and homophones, (i.e., weather, whether). Keeping the words on index cards or wall charts which will help you when we sort words by prefix, suffix, root words, meaning, spelling feature, etc. (Note: This will be an ongoing activity all year long.) (HYS – SD, SN)
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Discuss elements of poetry, sensory description, rhythm, and humor in the writer’s craft lessons (mini lesson). Have students talk about the elements in small groups, draw pictures to represent each element, and write a brief definition in kid-friendly terms for each. Post these where students can see for reference. Next, have the students write sentences that show the use of the elements, (e.g., an orange has a skin that is rough, it smells sweet and sugary, it tastes juicy and somewhat tart - for sensory descriptions). Discuss the way each student has written their sentences. Have student close their eyes and visualize descriptions, feel rhythm, or expresses humor. ((MCO – EC, S& HYS – RR, CQO)
