1 ELAR Grade 08 Unit 02A Exemplar Lesson 01: Reflection through Poetry This lesson is one approach to teaching the State Standards associated with this unit. Districts are encouraged to customize this lesson by supplementing with district-approved resources, materials, and activities to best meet the needs of learners. The duration for this lesson is only a recommendation, and districts may modify the time frame to meet students needs. To better understand how your district may be implementing CSCOPE lessons, please contact your child s teacher. (For your convenience, please find linked the TEA Commissioner s List of State Board of Education Approved Instructional Resources and Midcycle State Adopted Instructional Materials.) Lesson Organizer Lesson Synopsis Students review characteristics of poetry including sound effects, figurative language, and graphic elements. Students collect different poems centered on a selected theme or topic and compare the different collected forms of poetry by looking at the characteristics relate to the purpose of each form. Students also write original poems on their selected theme/topic and include poetic techniques, figurative language, and graphic elements. Students continue to establish word collection routines in order to demonstrate word knowledge. Performance Indicators Grade 08 ELAR Unit 02A PI 02 Create a collection of published and original poetry in various poetic forms, centralized around a self-selected topic. Write responses for each poem to compare and contrast the relationship between the purpose and characteristics of the poetic forms including the effectiveness of poetic techniques, figurative language, and graphic elements. Standard(s): 8.4A, 8.8A, 8.15B.i, 8.15B.ii, 8.15B.iii ELPS ELPS.c.1C, ELPS.c.1E, ELPS.c.1H, ELPS.c.4F, ELPS.c.4G, ELPS.c.4I, ELPS.c.4J, ELPS.c.4K, ELPS.c.5E, ELPS.c.5F, ELPS.c.5G Grade 08 ELAR Unit 02A PI 04 Write multiple response entries including thoughts, connections, and/or strategies that deepen understanding of fiction, literary nonfiction, poetry, and media. Provide evidence from the text to support ideas. Standard(s): 8.17C, 8.Fig19A, 8.Fig19B, 8.Fig19C, 8.Fig19D, 8.Fig19E, 8.Fig19F ELPS ELPS.c.1E, ELPS.c.4D, ELPS.c.4F, ELPS.c.4G, ELPS.c.4I, ELPS.c.4J, ELPS.c.4K, ELPS.c.5F, ELPS.c.5G page 1 of 50

2 Grade 08 ELAR Unit 02A PI 05 Record multiple entries in a Vocabulary Notebook that demonstrate knowledge of new words and their meanings. Standard(s): 8.2A, 8.2B, 8.2E ELPS ELPS.c.1A, ELPS.c.1C, ELPS.c.1E, ELPS.c.1F, ELPS.c.1H, ELPS.c.4A, ELPS.c.5B, ELPS.c.5F, ELPS.c.5G Key Understandings Authors use techniques, structures, and forms in order to communicate new and different perspectives. Readers use strategies to support interpretation of text. Understanding new words and concepts enhances comprehension and oral and written communication. 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 Reading/Vocabulary Development. Students understand new vocabulary and use it when reading and writing. Students are expected to: 8.2A Determine the meaning of grade-level academic English words derived from Latin, Greek, or other linguistic roots and affixes. Readiness Standard 8.4 Comprehension of Literary Text/Poetry. Students understand, make inferences and draw conclusions about the structure and elements of poetry and provide evidence from text to support their understanding. Students are expected to: 8.4A Compare and contrast the relationship between the purpose and characteristics of different poetic forms (e.g., epic poetry, lyric poetry). Supporting Standard 8.8 Comprehension of Literary Text/Sensory Language. Students understand, make inferences and draw conclusions about how an author s sensory language creates imagery in literary text and page 2 of 50

3 provide evidence from text to support their understanding. Students are expected to: 8.8A Explain the effect of similes and extended metaphors in literary text. Supporting Standard 8.14 Writing/Writing Process. Students use elements of the writing process (planning, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing) to compose text. Students are expected to: 8.14A Plan a first draft by selecting a genre appropriate for conveying the intended meaning to an audience, determining appropriate topics through a range of strategies (e.g., discussion, background reading, personal interests, interviews), and developing a thesis or controlling idea. 8.14B Develop drafts by choosing an appropriate organizational strategy (e.g., sequence of events, cause-effect, compare-contrast) and building on ideas to create a focused, organized, and coherent piece of writing. 8.14C Revise drafts to ensure precise word choice and vivid images; consistent point of view; use of simple, compound, and complex sentences; internal and external coherence; and the use of effective transitions after rethinking how well questions of purpose, audience, and genre have been addressed Writing/Literary Texts. Students write literary texts to express their ideas and feelings about real or imagined people, events, and ideas. Students are expected to: 8.15B Write a poem using: 8.15B.i 8.15B.ii 8.15B.iii poetic techniques (e.g., rhyme scheme, meter). figurative language (e.g., personification, idioms, hyperbole). graphic elements (e.g., word position) Writing/Expository and Procedural Texts. Students write expository and procedural or workrelated texts to communicate ideas and information to specific audiences for specific purposes. Students are expected to: 8.17C Write responses to literary or expository texts that demonstrate the use of writing skills for a multi-paragraph page 3 of 50

4 essay and provide sustained evidence from the text using quotations when appropriate Listening and Speaking/Teamwork. Students work productively with others in teams. Students will continue to apply earlier standards with greater complexity. Students are expected to: 8.28A Participate productively in discussions, plan agendas with clear goals and deadlines, set time limits for speakers, take notes, and vote on key issues. 8.Fig19 Reading/Comprehension Skills. Students use a flexible range of metacognitive reading skills in both assigned and independent reading to understand an author s message. Students will continue to apply earlier standards with greater depth in increasingly more complex texts as they become self-directed, critical readers. The student is expected to: 8.Fig19A Establish purposes for reading selected texts based upon own or others desired outcome to enhance comprehension. 8.Fig19C Reflect on understanding to monitor comprehension (e.g., summarizing and synthesizing; making textual, personal, and world connections; creating sensory images). 8.Fig19D Make complex inferences about text and use textual evidence to support understanding. Readiness Standard (Fiction, Expository) Supporting Standard (Literary Nonfiction, Poetry, and Drama, Persuasive) 8.Fig19F Make intertextual links among and across texts, including other media (e.g., film, play), and provide textual evidence. Readiness Standard Ongoing TEKS 8.1 Reading/Fluency. Students read grade-level text with fluency and comprehension. Students are expected to: 8.1A Adjust fluency when reading aloud grade-level text based on the reading purpose and the nature of the text. Materials Vocabulary Notebook (1 per student) page 4 of 50
