I can describe in depth a character, setting, or event in a story or drama, drawing on specific details in the text.
I can explain major differences between poems, drama, and prose.
I can refer to the structural elements of poems (i.e. verse, rhythm, meter) and drama (i.e. characters, settings, etc.) when writing or speaking about a text.
Speaking & Listening
I can engage effectively in a range of collaborative discussions (one-on-one, in groups, and teacher-led) with diverse partners on grade 4 topics & texts.
- Come to discussions prepared & draw on preparation & other information to explore ideas.
- Follow agreed-upon rules for discussion and carry out assigned roles.
- Pose & respond to specific questions to clarify or follow up on information, and make comments
that contribute to the discussion and line to the remarks of others.
