English Language Arts
- The child has learned how to analyze poems and identify claims made by the poet.
- They have also learned how to find evidence from the text to support those claims.
- The child has developed the skill of providing commentary and analysis on the evidence found.
Continued development in this activity can be fostered by encouraging the child to explore different types of poetry and analyze them using the same framework of claims, evidence, and commentary. They can also try writing their own poems and applying the same analysis techniques to their own work.
