Part 1: Lesson Content


Title of Lesson Identifying rhyme patterns in poems

Meeting your students’ needs as people and as learners How does this lesson connect to the interests and cultural
backgrounds of your students?
My students have been enjoying our rhyming stories recently and will
enjoy the added component of finding out the rhyme pattern within
the poems in our story.

How does this lesson connect to/reflect the local community?


There are several animal poems that the students will be able to
connect to if they have ever seen the animals or learned about them
before. The students are also doing a writing project on animals in
their centers this week and they will be able to connect to the poems
this way as well.

understand and apply

Why did you choose this level(s) of thinking?


I chose the level of thinking understand because the students will
need to be able to explain the rhyme schemes that they identified in
their poems to their partners. I also chose the level of thinning apply
because the students will need to be able to identify the rhyme pattern
within a poem in order to share their information with their partners.

Assessment Plan- How will you know students have mastered Describe your assessment plan:
your objectives? I am going to be using formative assessment by monitoring the
students throughout the read aloud for engagement. I will also be
making stopping points throughout the read aloud to check for
comprehension and having students point out rhyme patterns within
the poems I am reading. I will also have the students go into their
mybooks and mark the poem that they choose with the rhyme pattern
that they are identifying. I will be walking around while they are
working and ensuring students are meeting the objective and do not
have any misunderstandings.

Is your assessment formative or summative? Why did you make


that assessment decision?
My assessment plan is formative because I feel like it is the best way
for me to assess my students' understanding of the objective for this

lesson. Having them work in their mybooks is efficient and will be


helpful for the students to mark up the poems in front of them versus
writing on a separate piece of paper.

How does it align with your objective?


It aligns with my objective because I am assuring that my students can
efficiently identify rhyme patterns within a poem.

Assessment Scoring/Rubric
What are the criteria for how you will assess student learning/student I will be walking around and keeping notes of students that were
work? If you’re using a rubric, include your rubric here. understanding the objective and students that were struggling and
needed extra guidance to complete the objective. I will create a small
group for struggling students to revisit rhyme patterns in poems.

Differentiating Instruction How will you differentiate instruction in this lesson? Circle those that apply:

Process Product Content Readiness Interest Learner Profile

Describe what/how you will differentiate:

I will differentiate the process by first reading the story with the students and identifying the rhyme
pattern in 2 of the poems in the beginning of the story. Once we are done reading I will have them choose
a poem we did not do together and identify the rhyme pattern within it. After they have identified the
rhyme pattern I will have them turn to their shoulder partner and share what they found. I will also have
them turn to the person in front or behind them to share as well. This is also appealing to their learning
interest because they enjoy working in partners.

Which specific students will benefit, and why?

Students who work will with being shown how to do what is asked first and then doing it will benefit
from my examples on the board before they are released to do independently. Students who enjoy
working with others to support their learning will also benefit because they will be collaborating with 2
other classmates.

“What words in this poem do we notice that rhyme?”
*Calls on students*
“Yes! the words grace/place, deep/sleep, fun/sun, and roam/home rhyme. When we see our first pair of
rhyming words at the end of the sentence we will label the 2 rows “A”. Then the next 2 rhyming words
that we see we will mark their rows with the letters “B”. What do you think we will label our 3rd and 4th
pair of rhyming words?”
*Calls on students*
“Yes! We will label them with the letters “C” and “D””
*Label them on the board so they can visually see the labeling of the rhyming words and help them
identify the rhyming pattern within the story.”
“This story has an AA,BB,CC,DD rhyme pattern. Let's see what our next poem's rhyming pattern will be!”
*Reads the poem Big Brown Moose*
“This poem is a little longer but we will pay close attention to all of our rhyming words!”
“Who can guess what we will label the first 2 rows since they both end in the word moose?”

“Yes Moose Moose are the same words so we will label both rows “A””
“moving on to the next row we see that it ends in hide so we will label the row B”
“our third line ends in the word prance, what do you think we will label it?”
*calls on student*
“Yes, we will labe that row with the letter “C” because it does not rhyme with hide from row 2”
“Moving on to row four we see that it ends in dance, what do you think we should label it?”
“yes! we are going to label that row with the letter”C” because dance rhymes with prance”
“Now reading our last row and seeing that it ends inside, what do you think we should label it?”
*Calls on students*
“We can see that Side rhymes with the work in row 2 hide. This means we would label our last row with
the letter “B”.”
“The rhyme pattern of this poem would then be AA, B, CC, B”
“Are there any questions about identifying rhyme patterns?”
*Answers any lingering questions*
*Reads the remaining 3 poems to the class*

Partner activity 25 minutes 1:25-1:50


“Now that we are all done reading our poems I am going to set a 5 minute timer and you will be work
independently to identify the rhyme pattern of one of these 3 poems ( The Ant, Over the Meadow, or The
Cricket) you will label the poems with the letters in your MyBooks”
“Once the timer goes off I will have you turn to your shoulder partner and share what poems you found
the rhyme pattern of. If you chose the same poems see if you found the same patterns, if not see where
you went wrong and problem solve together.”
“Are there any questions before we begin?”
*answers any lingering questions*
“Just a reindeer before we begin that when we are independently working our voice levels are at a level 0
and we are focusing on our own work”
*Set timer and walk around to monitor student work and help when needed*
*timer goes off*
“Okay, now that the timer has gone off please turn to your shoulder partner and share what poems you
chose and the rhyme pattern that you found.”
“What should our voice levels be at during partner work?”
*calls on student*
“Yes, our voice levels will be at level 2 and we will be talking about our poems and staying on task”

“you may now turn to your shoulder partner and begin sharing”
*Will walk around and monitor partner work and help groups that need assistance.*
“Okay friends I saw some really awesome work here! Now that we have shared, let's go over the rhyme
patterns as a class for our remaining 3 poems.”
*Projects The Ant, The Cricket, and Over the Meadow on the board and call on students to tell me the
rhyme patterns that they found.*

Conclusion 5 mins 1:50-1:55


“Awesome work friends! I can really see that you guys are confident with identifying rhyme patterns
within poems. Are there any questions before we switch?”
*Calls on any students to answer remaining questions*
“Please put your MyBooks away and prepare to switch”

Pre Conference Questions

Learning Objectives and Goals

How do you plan to communicate the learning objectives to students? Be specific, include teacher talk and exact language you might use.

- I plan on communicating lesson objectives in the beginning and end of my lesson to the students.

- “This story is different from our usual stories because it is composed of all different kinds of poems about different animals. While we
are reading today we are going to identify different kinds of rhyme patterns within the poems.”
- “This anchor chart goes over different parts of poetry that we will be focusing on. There is rhyme where words end in the same sound
or sounds. This will be the main element that we are focusing on today.”
- “Now that we are all done reading our poems I am going to set a 5 minute timer and you will be work independently to identify the
rhyme pattern of one of these 3 poems ( The Ant, Over the Meadow, or The Cricket) you will label the poems with the letters in your
MyBooks”
- “Awesome work friends! I can really see that you guys are confident with identifying rhyme patterns within poems. Are there any
questions before we switch?”

Using Data

How did you become familiar with students’ background knowledge, skill levels, experiences, and cultural resources? What did you
learn that you used in this lesson?

- I became familiar with student background knowledge of rhyme patterns because in module 7 we quickly went over rhyme patterns
with the students about a story we were reading. They seemed to pick up on the concept quickly, even though it was not one that
we were focusing on for that module. In this lesson I will connect to prior knowledge by asking if they remember doing this before. I will
also do 2 examples with the students identifying rhyme patterns in poems before letting them work independently. This will be for students
who are struggling with identifying the patterns still.

Assessment

How do you expect to assess students during the lesson? Why?

- I am going to be using formative assessment by monitoring the students throughout the read aloud for engagement. I will also be
making stopping points throughout the read aloud to check for comprehension and having students point out rhyme patterns within
the poems I am reading. I will also have the students go into their mybooks and mark the poem that they choose with the rhyme
pattern that they are identifying. I will be walking around while they are working and ensuring students are meeting the objective and

do not have any misunderstandings. My assessment plan is formative because I feel like it is the best way for me to assess my students'
understanding of the objective for this lesson. Having them work in their mybooks is efficient and will be helpful for the students to
mark up the poems in front of them versus writing on a separate piece of paper.

Instruction

How will students be grouped for learning? How is the grouping related to social and
academic goals?

- Students will remain in their table groups that they sit in. The students are in table groups of 4 and are paired with students that they
can support and students that can support their learning.

Observation Focus

Using the actionable feedback from your most recent formal observations, how will you address those goals in this particular lesson?
In addition, which new FEAPs do you intend to demonstrate during this lesson?

- My actionable feedback from my last observation was to continue using my new behavior management skills with my class to see
if it increases engagement in the lesson with my students. My class becomes easily distracted so I am going to give constant reminders
about the expectations, using positive praise, rewarding dojos for on task groups, and using my nonverbal interventions. I will mainly
be focusing on FEAPS 2b and 2c this observation round.
