[LM_NET] Elem: need poem for practice test 4th grade

["Walkup, Linda" <Walkuli@TULSASCHOOLS.ORG>]

If anyone can help with this question, this group can!

A reading resource teacher (curriculum specialist) in my district needs
a poem for use in a practice test for 4th grade. Her request, though not
impossible, is somewhat difficult for me. If you can help me, I'll be
eternally grateful. We use Target Teach so we teach specific benchmarks
and objectives and then test our kiddos on them every 3 weeks. Here's
her request:

 

"We need to find a new poem for the Unit 5 4th grade reading test.  The
poem that was chosen by ENI is "A Bird Came Down" by Emily Dickinson.
This doesn't work for 4th grade students.  The poem needs to be one that
has examples of simile, metaphor, personification, &/or hyperbole, and
can be interpreted by 4th graders.  I would appreciate any help you can
give us.  We need to rewrite the test using a different piece of
poetry."
