UNIT X 228 | UNIT 6 Instructional Routine: Tools for Writing p. Txxxv Tools for Writing: Rhyme Understand rhyme Many poems use rhyme to express ideas and emotions with sound. Read the informational text and discuss the examples. Ask: What are the two main rhyming patterns? (AABB and ABAB) Ask: Do all words that rhyme have similar endings? (no, not always) Write students’ answers to the questions on the board as notes for them to refer back to. • A Identify rhyme and structure Read aloud the rhymes as a class. Then have students read over the notes on the board. Ask a volunteer to identify the rhyming pattern and rhyming words at the end of each line in “Betsy’s Battle Flag” (AABB, flew: blew, head: red). Have students explain how they came to their answer. Then have them complete the rest of Activity A independently and check their answers with a partner once they have finished. ANSWERS 1. b (flew: blew, head: red); 2. c (hear: Revere: year, seventyfive: alive); 3. a (pole: roll: soul) B Analyze the rhyming words Write the four words in the box on the board. Say each word clearly and slowly. Drill the words with students. Ask: Which words rhyme with each other? (night: white, celebration: nation) Have students complete the rest of Activity B independently and check their answers with a partner once they have finished. ANSWERS We wave the flag in celebration of our country becoming a nation. The colors are red, blue, and white. We fly it through each day and night. PRACTICE EXPLORE AND LEARN DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION Scaffold • Model reading the poems on page 226 slowly and clearly. Drill the words with students focusing on word endings. • Draw a T-chart on the board as you drill for a second time to make a list of words that rhyme with each other. • Ask students if they can think of any other words to add to each list of words that rhyme with each other. Amplify Write the rhyming pattern AABCCBA on the board. Challenge students to write a poem using that rhyming pattern. In pairs, students can read their poems to each other and check that the rhyming pattern is followed. Tools for Writing Rhyme Poetry uses different sound devices. One sound device is rhyme. The words at the ends of the lines in a poem follow a rhyme scheme. Some typical rhyme schemes are AABB and ABAB. The patterns look like this: A On the Fourth of July, A We look to the sky, B Where fireflies zoom B and fireworks boom. A What independence means to me B Is freedom to move and speak. A I love this country, where I’m free B to be myself—unique. Sometimes rhyming words end with similar spellings, like hear and year. Sometimes they end with different spellings, like fl ew and blue. A Match the rhyme schemes to the poems. Then, identify the rhyming words at the end of each line. 1. Betsy’s Battle Flag a. AAA 2. Paul Revere’s Ride b. AABB 3. The Message of the Liberty Bell c.
