NC Standards RL.4.1, RL.4.2, RL.4.5, and RL.4.10. Students
apply what they have learned about reading poems to a familiar poem as well as to a new
poem. In Part I, they reread “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” and compare the
poem to a prose version of the same event by completing a chart. They then show their
understanding of the elements of poetry by answering selected response questions about the
poem. In Part II, students read a new poem and write a summary, demonstrating their ability
to use details from the poem to determine a theme and summarize the text.
NC Standards RL.4.1, RL.4.3, RL.4.10, SL.4.1a, SL.4.1b, and
SL.4.1c. Students complete two tasks in which they describe Jack’s character in depth,
drawing on specific details in the text. In Part I, students use notes prepared in the previous
lesson to discuss the change in Jack’s feelings about poetry. They question each other to check
for understanding and to gather additional information, demonstrating their ability to
participate actively and respectfully in collaborative discussions. In Part II, students answer
selected response and short constructed response questions to show their understanding of
Jack’s thoughts, feelings, and actions and how his character has developed.

NC Standards W.4.2g, L.4.3a–c. Students revise their poems
to choose words and phrases to convey ideas precisely and to choose punctuation for
effect. They then complete a revisions form to show what they have revised and the rationale
for the choice they have made.
