ELA:
This week, we will take a close look at poetry and discover how we read it differently than fiction and informational text. We will read many poems and learn that poetry uses sensory words to create feelings and emotions in the reader. Poetry often makes us think differently and deeply.
As we look at poetry this week we will actively read and analyze each poem for better understanding. Below are some of the things we will annotate:
Reading poetry is a great way to revisit descriptive and figurative language. In third grade, we focus on similes, metaphors, and personification. Students do not have to necessarily identify the type of figurative language, but more importantly, they need to be able to determine the meaning and how the author uses this language to describe something by comparing it with something else.
