CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.4.6: Strong (2)
The lesson receives a 2 for CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.4.6 because idioms are a great way for students to be able to express "precise actions or states of being." Also, through learning these phrases, students will encounter vocabulary that could further help them express these actions or states of being. It receives a two because many of these idioms are not "basic to a particular topic."

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.4.3b: Limited (1)
For CCSS.ELA-Literacy 4.3b, this lesson is rated a 1 because while it does use dialogues to develop understanding of idioms, it could do more to "show the responses of characters to situations."
on May 12, 12:52pm Evaluation
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.4.1: Superior (3)
This lesson receives a 3 for CCSS.ELA-Literacy SL.4.1 because it aligns to all of the standards within this cluster. Students will engage in discussion for every activity in this unit (one-on-one, small groups, and class), be prepared (4.1a), follow the discussion rules already set in place in the classroom (4.1b), be encouraged to ask questions and clarify (4.1c), and continually review the key concepts of the lesson (4.1d).

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.4.5b: Strong (2)
This lesson receives a 2 for CCSS.ESLA-Literacy.L.4.5b because it only addresses idioms, not adages and proverbs.

Quality of Instructional and Practice Exercises: Strong (2)
After teaching this lesson for a week, I think one more activity would be beneficial. This last activity would take place a week or two after the initial lesson, because students would be reminded of the idioms. This would make sure skill acquisition took place, even after the main lesson.
