__Agenda__
Students start the day by copying the learning objectives and the homework. Give them 2 minutes or so to copy and then begin the agenda. **Remind students that I will be checking their work tomorrow to make sure they completed EVERYTHING on today's agenda.**


 * 1. Vocabulary Review**
 * Students turn to page 52 of the textbook.
 * The teacher reads each vocabulary word and then has students repeat the word (to practice correct pronunciation).
 * Before going on to the next word, stop and ask students:
 * How do you say that in Arabic?
 * How do you say that in Spanish? (Turkish, Russian also).
 * Check with the student Peer Tutors to make sure the students are right.


 * 2. How to Form Mental Images**
 * Students turn to page 53.
 * Have students copy the reading strategy in their notebooks ("How to Form Mental Images" on the left side of their Cornell Notes, and steps 1-4 on the right side of their Cornell Notes). Give students 3 or 4 minutes to copy.
 * Choose students to read the page, starting at the very top under "Visualize".
 * Stop while reading and ask students to translate for each other (similar to how you did with the vocabulary activity).
 * Ask the Peer Tutors if students are right and/or ask Peer Tutors to try to explain the strategy to students in Arabic and Spanish.
 * When you get to the "Look Into the Text" section, model the strategy for students: [[image:How_to_form_mental_images_page_53.png]]
 * Have students try the strategy also, but have them write notes in their notebook instead of sticky notes.


 * 3. Scan for Vocabulary**
 * Have students find words they don't know on pages 54-61.
 * Students need to look at all of the words on each page (even the words in questions). If the student doesn't know what a word means, he/she adds it to his/her Cornell Notes (on the left side, students translate the words on the right side tomorrow). **Students need to make a list of AT LEAST 30 words--challenge them if they pretend they know all/most of the words--point out some difficult words and ask what they mean. __They do not need to define/translate the words in class or for homework--we'll do that tomorrow in the computer lab.__**
