Remote Learning - Galatiuk’s Class Lesson Plans – Week of March 23 – 27
Monday – Reading/English Plans –
TEKS: 4.6F, 4.10F, 9B, 3C, 2ii, 11i
Objective: Student will identify author’s use of voice (through tone/mood) using text evidence
and label the structure elements of a poem. Students will determine the meaning of words
through affixes and roots _graph auto__ and multi syllabic words. Students will identify
coordinating conjunctions in a compound sentence.
Direct/Independent Practice: When you read, you can “hear” an author’s voice. Voice is the author’s tone or attitude toward a subject in a text. By looking at the words an author has chosen and how they
describe the setting, characters, or plot, you can identify the voice of the author. (Anchor chart in
Remote Learning folder)
Read the poem “Mother to Son” by Langston Hughes in Poetry for Young People: Langston Hughes edited by David Roessel and Arnold Rampersad aloud.( NOTE: Hughes was an African American Poet who lived during the time of the Civil War, Great Depression, and Slavery—where he got a lot of his inspiration for writing.) Label the structural elements of poetry (Stanza, Line Breaks, Rhyme Scheme and Repitition if any). An example will be provided. Note: Remember rhyme scheme is in a letter pattern; AABB or ABAB, or ABCB, etc. where the last word in each line will rhyme in one of these formats –The same letters are rhyming words. We need to identify the author’s voice in the poem using the words and phrases in the poem. The poem is written by Langston Hughes but the poem is written from the point of view of a mother. The author uses words like “tacks,” “splinters,” “boards,” and “bare,” and phrases like “life ain’t been no crystal stair.” The mother’s attitude about life is that it is a
struggle and that you must continue to keep going. I will provide a sample in the Remote Learning Folder.
Students will read “Aunt Sue’s Stories” by Langston Hughes in Poetry for Young People: Langston Hughes. First label the structural elements and identify the type of poem. They will then identify the author’s voice in the poem using words and phrases from the poem. Words and phrases such as “heart full of stories,” “summer nights on the porch,” “cuddles a brown-faced child,” “singing sorrow songs,” “mingle themselves softly,” and “the dark-faced child is quiet” give the reader the feeling of comfort and love for a grandmother. The author’s voice is warm and quietly respectful. I will provide a sample in the Remote Learning Folder. *Students will read “Youth” by Langston Hughes in Poetry for Young People: Langston
Hughes on their own. They should label the structural elements of poetry, and give examples of
words and phrases that support the author’s voice or tone. This can be done by underlining
words and phrases in the poem. Write at the bottom what the author’s tone is.
Assignments/Assessment to SUBMIT: ALL Reading/English Assignments will be listed in
Showbie under Reading in the Remote Learning Folder.
1. Submit the Poem “Youth” by Langston Hughes through Showbie (click “DONE” when
finished and it will send to me). Use the pencil/marker to label elements of poetry and
-
underline text evidence of author’s tone. Type or write author’s tone at the bottom like
the examples. (use anchor chart and examples in the folder to help you)
2. Complete any TWO assignments on Spelling City for the week of March 23-27. (I will
receive a notification)
3. Log into NO RED INK and complete Compound Sentences Activity #1 – Identifying
Coordinating Conjunctions (FANBOYS) - an anchor chart will be in the folder.
Tuesday – Reading/English Plans –
TEKS: 3C, 2ii, 12a, 4.9B
Objective: students will explain figurative language such as simile, metaphor, and
personification that the poet uses to create images; determine the meaning of words through
affixes and roots _graph auto__ and multi syllabic words; students will write a poem using
structural elements of poetry.
Direct/Independent Practice: Remember: metaphors and similes are used to create an image of the person or thing being described in the reader’s head. Use figurative language anchor chart to review the
difference between metaphors and similes. (found in Showbie Folder)
Similes use “like” or “as” to compare two things that are not alike while metaphors do not. Metaphors use “is,” “am,” or “are” to compare a noun with another noun.
Read “I, Too” by Langston Hughes aloud. ( NOTE: Langston Hughes is an Afrcan American). Identify the metaphors in the poem and explain how the author uses metaphors to describe life. For example, Langston Hughes says “I, too, am America” at the end of his poem. Langston is not actually a country, so I know that this is a metaphor. Then I will use the metaphor to interpret the meaning of the poem. By saying that he is America, Hughes is trying to say that as an African American, he is as American as any other American. Look at “Youth” by Langston Hughes which students read yesterday. Identify and explain the meaning of the simile in the poem. The author uses the simile “bright before us like a flame” to describe tomorrow. He uses this simile to show that even if the past was a dark, sad time for African American people, the future for youth is brilliant and full of hope.
Students will read “Harlem” by Langston Hughes. They will identify similes and metaphors from the poem and use them to explain their meanings. (Students should underline the similes and metaphors on the poem and write what they think it means next to it) For example, In “Harlem,” the author uses a simile to compare a dream deferred to rotten meat. He is trying to show the reader that a dream that is not accomplished stinks.
Think About: How did I interpret the meaning of the poems today? ( Students should respond that you read the poems looking for similes and metaphors and used them to think about what message the author is trying to convey to the reader.)
-
Assignments/Assessment to SUBMIT: 1. “Harlem” Poem. Highlighting the similes and/or metaphors, and explain what the author’s

Remote Learning - Gross’ Class Lesson Plans – Week of March 23 – 27
**Because we are sending assignments via Showbie, you can complete the
assignment on Showbie and when you click ‘done’ it will send the assignment back to
me to grade. **
**WHEN COMPLETING AN ASSIGNMENT ON PAPER, PLEASE WRITE THE
PROBLEM AND THE ANSWER. The only time you do not have to write a problem
is when it is a word problem. When you have a word problem, you must write the
equation needed to solve the problem and the answer. (Your equation will show the
problem needed to solve the word problem and then of course, your answer.) **
**Remember there are multiple ways to view your math book: Showbie, Pearson
Realize (PearsonRealize.com), Realize Reader app (rr), and the Books app once you

As you participate in the lesson this week you will also be reviewing the steps
involved in designing an experiment. It will be helpful to review the Scientific Inquiry
Vocabulary page in Showbie often throughout this week.

that many of each. 1 magnet and a few paper clips will be enough. The magnet does
not have to look like the one in the book. Just about any magnet should work.
-
*Step 4 calls for a partner. Feel free to work with a parent or someone else at home. If
you have to do this on your own, that’s ok too.
