Poetry
Reading: Cause/EffectStandard: Recognize relationship between cause and effect
Level 1: State 1 cause and effect from the text
Level 2: Use context clues to infer the effect when only the cause is given.
Level 3: Formulate a cause/effect relationship by changing one element of the story

Level 1: Using the standard multiplication method solve these problems: 32x42, 16x24, 10x66
Level 2: Mrs. Ramsey bought 14 pizzas for her Halloween Party. The pizzas cost $12 each including tax. How much did Mrs. Ramsey spend?
Level 3: Develop your own 2x2 multiplication problem. Write directions on how to solve it. Explain why those directions help solve the problem
Level 4: Create a model to solve a multiplication problem without using the standard algorithm. Explain why it works.
Author’s purpose
Identify the Author’s purpose if a variety of texts
Level 1: Read a text and identify the author’s purpose
Level 2: Make a list of keywords or phrases author’s use to show their purpose
Level 3: Read a text and determine the author’s purpose. Determine how it affects the interpretation of a passage.
Level 4: Create a story connecting two genres that allow for more than one author’s purpose
Cause and Effect
Entry Level: Describe the cause and effect of Halloween
Advanced: Construct a cause and effect relationship between animals in an ecosystem
Challenging: Analyze and synthesize the causes and effects from several texts (mimcry and camouflage texts).
Plot Elements
Entry Level: Identify plot elements of Cinderella from interactive website
Advanced Level: Compare and contrast two versions of Cinderella plot elements
Challenging Level: Analyze protagonist and antagonist of Cinderella and Little Red Riding Hood; describe their similarities and differences
Life Science-Plants and animals
Objective: Students understand that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function and support survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction.
Level 1: Identify the 6 life processes
Level 2: Compare and contrast plant and animal cells
Level 3: Create a dichotomous chart to determine whether something is a living organism or not.
Level 4: Create a new organism and analyze how it fulfills each life process requirement
Science: Rapid Earth Changes: Adaptations
Entry Level: Students will complete graphic organizer answering research questions about animal or plant adaptations
Advanced: Students will construct a brochure explaining their animal or plant adaptations
Most Challenging: Students will design their own animal or plant and prove how it will adapt in its environment
Identify first and third person point of view
Entry level lesson: Define first and third person and identify and label sentences as being written in either first or 3rd person. Identify and sort and label each sentence strip into 1st and 3rd person. Work on grade level task cards with on-level text
Advanced activities: Determine the points of view of a photo. Create and write a story based upon that point of view. Using pictures from ELA OER grade 4-Analyze pictures for possible POV. Select a point of view to construct a paragraph (3-5 sentences) to describe photo. Using passage provided, apply knowledge of POV to determine which POV it is written and write in the other POV making changes as needed.
Most challenging activities: Research first and third person. Write a story in first person and then rewrite the same story in third person. Reflect on how switching the point of view affects the story. Choose a photo of a scene and write a 1-2 page paper including 3 parts: Analyze the photo to determine perspectives of the scene, Create your own short story based on the photo-write it in 1st and then in 3rd, finally...describe the difference in the interpretation of the photo when written in 1st person vs 3rd person.
Reading: Actions & Reactions-THEME
Entry Level: Students will recognize words and phrases in an informational text that suggest the organizational structure and the relationships they reveal (sequence, comparisons, etc. Could also be used with Glossary, Index, Captions, etc
Advanced: Students will create a poster or anchor chart demonstrating knowledge of each text feature or theme of a story
Most Challenging: Analyze and Synthesize an informational piece from newspaper, magazine, or online and explain why and how the text features help support the work.
Reading/Writing: Poetry
DOK 1-Recognize characteristics of poetry-line, stanza, rhyme
DOK 2-Classify the different types of poetry
DOK 3-Construct four different types of poems
DOK 4- Compare and analyze your four poems then create your own genre or unique style of poetry. Compare and Contrast it to your other poems.
Energy
Standard: Students can ask questions and predict outcomes about the changes in energy when objects collide/interact.
Entry level activity: STEM activity-7 pennies, groups 2-3 use coins to demonstrate energy and motion.
Advanced activity: change parameters ex. Faster flick, softer flick, surface, or coin
Most challenging activities: create a game with rules that utilizes the energy concepts in the unit
Energy
Standard: Students can use evidence to construct an explanation relating the speed of an object to the energy of an object.
Entry level activity: STEM Activity--marble exploration of the speed needed to move another marble. Experiment with surface & inclined plane.
Advanced activity: Using marble works or other pre-designed system, get your marble to a goal in least amount of time.
Most challenging activity: Given various materials, design your own marble run. Justify your choice of materials. Test, conclude, revise.
Habitats/Endangered Animals
