5 Page 5 7. SUGGESTED PREPARATION: Review ELA R lessons covering grade level TEKS objectives related to poetry and speaking. o Example: Grade 5 TEKS Objective English Language Arts and Reading, (b) Knowledge and skills: (4) Reading/Comprehension of Literary Text/Poetry. Students understand, make inferences and draw conclusions about the structure and elements of poetry and provide evidence from text to support their understanding. Students are expected to analyze how poets use sound effects (e.g., alliteration, internal rhyme, onomatopoeia, rhyme scheme) to reinforce meaning in poems. (16) Writing/Literary Texts. Students write literary texts to express their ideas and feelings about real or imagined people, events, and ideas. Students are expected to: (B) write poems using: o (i) poetic techniques (e.g., alliteration, onomatopoeia); o (ii) figurative language (e.g., similes, metaphors); and o (iii) graphic elements (e.g., capital letters, line length). (28) Listening and Speaking/Speaking. Students speak clearly and to the point, using the conventions of language. Students continue to apply earlier standards with greater complexity. Students are expected to give organized presentations employing eye contact, speaking rate, volume, enunciation, natural gestures, and conventions of language to communicate ideas effectively. ( o Numerous resources for getting started with writing poetry are available online. Review Science lessons covering the water cycle and grade level TEKS objectives. o Example: Grade 4 TEKS Objective Science, (b) Knowledge and skills: (8) Earth and space. The student knows that there are recognizable patterns in the natural world and among the Sun, Earth, and Moon system. The student is expected to: (B) describe and illustrate the continuous movement of water above and on the surface of Earth through the water cycle and explain the role of the Sun as a major source of energy in this process; o There are many excellent graphics online that can be helpful as visual aids in describing the water cycle. Here is an interactive example from the US Geological Survey: kids beg.html o Comprehensive and grade specific education materials including locally relevant lessons and activities can be found on the San Antonio Water System (SAWS) Education page: Students and a coaching teacher are encouraged to follow the five stages of the writing process (planning, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing) in accordance with grade level TEKS objectives. Students and a coaching teacher should carefully study the judging rubric above and consult it throughout the writing phase as well as the preparation phase for the recorded oral reading. Students should intimately familiarize themselves with the final version of their poem, practicing oral readings of it out loud and occasionally in front of a mirror. It is strongly recommended that students entering the contest have several prior dry run performances for a range of audiences (e.g., for family, friends, class, etc.) including for the camera. Memorization of the poem is not required but will be impressive to the judges, so long as no words or lines are left out in the submitted video clip. o Participating students may also use note cards, but should strive for good eye contact with the audience (see Judging Rubric above).
