Learning Objectives:
Students will be able to predict what will happen in a text.

Homework For Today:
No homework on Friday

Today's Agenda:
1. Warm-up and Correct the warm-up 2. Vocabulary Test #12--Read each word in a different order and students will write the correct spelling on their own piece of paper. Make sure that you DO NOT allow students to correct the vocabulary tests in an effort to save time. They have a tendency to cheat when given this opportunity. Something else that works to decrease the amount of cheating with the vocabulary tests is to have students turn their papers over once they have finished the test. Then, they pass these tests up to the front without having the person in front of them looking for the correct answers and (possibly) changing the answers. 3. Pass out page 38 of GWPB to students and guide them through this page as you teach them the concept. 4. Pass out pages 46-48 of Practice Book and guide students through the "Before Reading" page, then begin reading the web forum, Good Advice From Teens. Answer the questions as you read and discuss.
