(Discussion) High Level Strategies with Ladder A & F Questions Tier 2 Rigor (Discussion) High Level Strategies with Ladder A & F Questions

Discussion Strategies: Think-Pair-Share, Write-around, Sequencing pictures, Role Play, Journaling. Choose 3 of 4 questions below to complete. A1: Sequence the events in the poem without using any words the poet uses. Write in complete sentences. A2: Compare and contrast your prioritized list of events. What did you notice? Which would you rather read or listen to? Why? F1: The author uses onomatopoeia to provide readers with an idea of sounds using words. Onomatopoeia is a word that makes the same sound it is describing. How many times does the poet use examples of onomatopoeia in her poem? Can you formulate examples to show your understanding of onomatopoeia? Example: “The mooing cow swished his tail against a gushing gutter”. F2: Work with a partner. Role play what is going on in the poem using only sounds and motions. In your opinion, what makes onomatopoeia so important in this poem?

Reflections/Relevance (A3) (F3) Tier 3 Reflections/Relevance (A3) (F3)

Choose two of the ideas to complete. Be creative. 1. Compose another stanza to the poem to illustrate what would happen if someone were standing close to the spigot. Choose the same onomatopoeia style as the author. Select an optional project strategy below or your own strategy to share with others. (A3) 2. Find a place outside, in the cafeteria, in your classroom, or another place you like to go. Close your eyes and listen. Record what you hear. Take pictures of what you see when you open your eyes. Then create your own poem to explain what you heard, using as many onomatopoeia words as you can. Integrate your photos into the project. (F3) 3. Design a zoo book of animals and original onomatopoeia sounds the animals might make. Share your book with another classroom. Optional project strategies: Commercial Role Play; Create a Puppet Show; Charts, Posters, Flyers, Brochures; Picture Dictionary.
