Dear Serena's parents,

Serena had another very positive and productive language class today. She is becoming quite knowledge and adept at communicating the specific poetry concepts she has been learning and doing so with confidence. Wonderful!

For today's lesson (her last G4 Wonders lesson!!! Yay!), we reviewed Serena's excellent weekly test submission as well as reviewing her 'very  heavy' Anchor Chart binder, lol! We also covered Lesson 20 - Task 1 - U6L10 - Your Turn.  

We covered the following literacy concepts:

1) Key Vocabulary

2) Reading strategies for Poetry: intonation, inflection, 'musicality', line discipline (reading the 'line' not the 'sentence')

3) Free Verse Poem

4) Rhyming Scheme

5) Theme (Author's Point of View)

6) Narrator's Point of View (e.g.: First Person, etc.)

7) Elements of Poetry: Imagery and Personification

8) Figurative Language: Homonyms

9) Prefixes and Suffixes

10) Words from Around the World
