My Reading Lesson
The students were just beginning a unit on poetry and had already learned about lines and stanzas as well as how to pay attention to how the poems make them feel (RL.5.5, RL.5.7). The lesson I taught was on figurative language and how to think deeply about the words and why the author chose those words. I focused on figurative language in the form of similes and metaphors. I taught the students how to determine what the language is saying and how to figure out the meaning behind the words.
