__Agenda__
0. Entering the room
 * Show the learning objectives and homework on the overhead projector. Students have 2 to 3 minutes to copy them.

1. CST Vocabulary Review
 * CST Vocabulary Quizlet

2. CST Practice > We began using this strategy yesterday, but students are still learning it.
 * Students continue to practice using WAKAL
 * Write
 * Anything you
 * Know in
 * Any
 * Language
 * As the name suggests, students read portions of the test and write anything they understand. Students can write what they understand in any language.
 * Pass out the handout:
 * [|CST Practice Day 2 WAKAL.pdf]
 * Since this is a new strategy, help students find things they understand from the practice questions.
 * Lead students through the reading and the question. After each section, help students find important details that they understand and then have them write on the handout (because they can write on the CST) what they understood from the reading. Doing this will help them answer the subsequent questions--on the back.
 * Students keep these and show them to me tomorrow.

3. Begin Homework
 * Do this if time permits, or if students are not taking the CST practice seriously.
 * Remind students that I will be checking both the CST practice and the Vocabulary Word Maps tomorrow.
