Georgia 1.T.T.4

1.T.T.4 is a Georgia English Language Arts standard. These are the expectations under it.

• 1.T.T.4.a

  Identify and describe poetic techniques used to craft texts, including rhyme, alliteration, and repeated lines. (I)

• 1.T.T.4.b

  Use poetic techniques to create poems using simple words and/or phrases that may or may not rhyme. (C)

01

What Students Need to Do

Students find sound patterns, repeated words, and vivid details in simple poems. They explain how these choices affect meaning or feeling, then try them in their own poems.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

Students can point to rhyme, rhythm, repetition, or sensory words in a short poem. They can explain the effect and use one technique in their own poem.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may think every poem must rhyme. They may match words by spelling instead of sound, or name repetition without explaining what it emphasizes.

04

How to Assess It

Give students a four-line poem. Ask them to circle one sound or word pattern, explain what it highlights, and add a line using that pattern.

1. 01

   Give students word cards to sort into rhyming groups, then arrange one group into a short poem.

2. 02

   Read a short poem aloud and ask, "Which repeated word matters most, and what does it help you picture?"

3. 03

   Play Poetry Pattern Hunt, where partners mark rhymes, repeated words, and sensory words in printed poems.

4. 04

   Study a playground chant or song lyric, then identify how rhythm and repetition make it easy to remember.
