I would first ask to come and observe them during their reading time to learn about where they are etc. Then ask what their reading levels are... Also, I would ask what the focus of the lesson is, theme or rhyme, etc. If they don't have a focus choose one: theme or rhyme or alliteration, etc. Before the lesson, give the teacher a few points to be looking for relating to your focus. These are some things that popped into my mind. Hope they help, Maureen

I have a demo lesson for a 4th grade class. The only guidelines I was given is to have a beginning/introductory lesson on poetry. I am not exactly sure where I should start, as I have no idea what these students have been taught, their reading levels, etc. Any ideas on how I can tackle this task? I appreciate any/all advice you can give. Thanks!
