Part II: Read Jack’s poem about the animal shelter on pages 25–27. Then write a summary of the poem. (RL.4.2, W.4.9a)
Be sure your summary includes:
■ An introduction to the text stating the title, pages, and author
■ A brief outline of what the text is about
■ A possible theme (the point or message the author wants you to take away) of Jack’s poem
■ Details from the text to support your theme
■ A brief explanation of how Jack uses one of the poetry elements we studied (structure, imagery, rhyme/rhythm, or repetition) to help the reader better understand the theme of the poem
You can use this note-catcher to capture your notices about the characteristics of poetry, as well as the theme and supporting details. This will not be assessed.
