What Do We Plant
Subject: English | Class: 4 | Series: Leeds (SNC 2020)
Revision Duration
1 period (40 minutes)
Quick Recap (10 minutes)
Poem Summary: The poem "What Do We Plant" by Henry Abbey tells us about all the things we get when we plant a tree.
- Stanza 1 — The Ship: When we plant a tree, we plant the ship that will cross the sea. We plant the mast to carry the sails, the planks to withstand the gales, the keel, the keelson, the beam, and the knee.
- Stanza 2 — The House: We plant houses — the rafters, shingles, floors, studding, lath, doors, beams, and siding. All parts of a house can be made from wood.
- Stanza 3 — A Thousand Things: We plant a thousand things we see daily — the spire, the staff for our country's flag, shade from the hot sun. Trees are kind to us.
Central Idea: When we plant a tree, we are planting everything that is made from wood — ships, houses, flagpoles, shade, and countless other things.
Activity: Teacher says a line from the poem, students say what it refers to (ship, house, or other things).

Common Mistakes to Avoid
| Mistake | Correction |
|---|---|
| Spelling "gails" | Correct: g-a-l-e-s |
| Confusing "mast" and "mast" (past of "must") | Mast = tall post on a ship |
| Saying "plankes" | Correct plural: planks (no "e") |
| Missing the final cluster in words like "match" | "tch" is a three-letter final cluster |
| Writing "spl" words without the "l" (e.g., "spash") | Correct: splash, split |
| Confusing initial and final clusters | Initial = beginning of word; Final = end of word |
