Here is a lesson plan in which pupils connect themes and rules to live by from the story Bud, Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis to those found in the poem If by Rudyard Kipling. First, scholars discuss their reading and review Bud's rules; then, they analyze the poem's first stanza to identify the rules. The lesson plan concludes with a written exit ticket inviting learners to share what conclusions they came up with.
