poetry and independently write poems. In word study, students recognize that new words are created when letters

are changed, added or deleted, decode and spell CVC words, and identify high frequency words.

Key UnderstandingsAn extensive vocabulary supports the development of oral and written communication.

Awareness of word patterns supports the development of word reading and spelling.

Readers use strategies to support understanding of text.

Understanding literary elements facilitates the reader’s ability to make meaning of the text.Writers develop ideas about what they know.

Writers use literary techniques to enhance the reader’s and/or listener’s experience.

TEKS The Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) listed below are the standards adopted by the State Board of

Education, which are required by Texas law. Any standard that has a strike-through (e.g. sample phrase) indicates

that portion of the standard is taught in a previous or subsequent unit. The TEKS are available on the Texas

Education Agency website at http://www.tea.state.tx.us/index2.aspx?id=6148.

Background Information Sensory detail - a detail in writing

that describes what is seen,

heard, smelled, tasted, or

touched

Sight - visual detail

ensures that the

reader is able to give

faces to characters; or

details to a setting and

action

Sound - enables the

reader to be a part of

the action

Smell - provides a

strong power over

feelings, thoughts, and

emotions

Taste - memories,

people, places, and

feelings can be

suggested through

taste

Touch - tactile

descriptions create

sensory triggers to

help the reader not

only visualize a scene,

but to experience it.

The sense of touch

Daily Lesson # 1 WORD STUDY SHARED READING INDEPENDENT READING WRITING

Duration and Objective Suggested Duration: 25-30

Content Objective: Students read

and spell high-frequency words.

Suggested Duration: 20-25min.

Content Objective: Students

identify sensory details in poems

and identify a regular beat and

rhyming words.

Suggested Duration: 15-20 min.

Content Objective: Students

recognize sensory details while

reading independently.

Suggested Duration: 25-30 min.

Content Objective: Students

generate ideas and write short

rhyming poems as a class.

Mini Lesson 1. Review that some words

are used many times.

These words are

important to learn to read

and write because they will

be used so often. Many

times these words do not

“follow the rules” forsounding them out so they

may have to be

memorized. Explain that

these words are called

high-frequency words.

2. Follow the Teacher

Resource: Word Wall

Routine and review 2-3

previously taught words,

one at a time.

3. Follow Teacher Resource:

Word Wall Routines and

introduce 2-3 new words,

one at a time.

1. Display the Anchor Chart:

Five Senses. Review each

of the five senses.

2. Ask: What do you see in

our classroom? What

do you hear in our

classroom? What do

you smell in our class

room? What can you

feel in our classroom?

What can you taste in

the cafeteria? Discuss

responses and record on

the Anchor Chart: Five

Senses.

3. Read 1-2 poems aloud,

stopping to identify

sensory details.

4. Review that poems have

rhythm and rhyme.

Reread the poems and

instruct students to clap

1. Using a text from the

collection, Think Aloud

and recognize 2-3 sensory

details. Discuss that the

illustrations can also

create sensory images.

1. Display the selected poem

and Choral Read with

students.

2. Ask: How do rhyming

words help readers

read poetry? Discuss

responses. Identify the

rhyming words in the

displayed poem.

3. Explain that students will

generate ideas for short

rhyming poems.

4. Read one of the couplets

from the displayed poem.

Share that this is called a

couplet because it is made

up of two lines whose last

words rhyme.

5. Inform students that they

will write a class couplet.

understand that dictionaries are

reference books that contain

words organized in alphabetic

order.

It will be necessary to model

extensively and provide multiple

opportunities for guided practice in

order for students to be

successful.

Throughout the poetry lessons in

this Unit, specific poems will be

referenced but may be replaced

with other poems with the same

characteristics (e.g., rhyme,

sensory details).

This Daily Lesson reviews what

students learned about poetry in

Unit 03 and expands on it. The

class participates in poetry writing

through composing short class

couplets.
