__Agenda__
__Note: students come in and write the learning objectives and homework before beginning the lesson. I will be in later this period to check homework (I will only be 30-45 minutes late to class)__. I can take attendance later in the period, so no need to worry about that.


 * 1. Vocabulary Practice, Unit 2, Cluster 1**
 * Quizlet
 * You can use your notes, but don't use the book.
 * Show the quiz on the overhead projector. Students write the definition in their notebooks and match it to the correct vocabulary word (see the list on the board).


 * 2. Phonics Practice**
 * Inside Phonics page 21
 * Show the students the page on the document camera.
 * Have students complete part A (1-8) on their own, share answers afterward.
 * Explain part B, then read A Trip to the Shop--re-read with student volunteers.
 * Then have students add words to the lists using words from the reading (students write in their notebooks).


 * 3. Before Reading "How Ananse Gave Wisdom to the World", page 89**
 * Read through the page with students.
 * Have them copy the "How to Ask Questions" steps in their notebook (Cornell Note style).
 * Then, have students scan for vocabulary on pages 90-97. They will, in Cornell Style, write the words they don't know then use a dictionary to translate the words they don't understand. **PLEASE HAVE THEM MAKE THEIR LIST OF AT LEAST 25 WORDS BEFORE ALLOWING THEM TO GET A DICTIONARY TO TRANSLATE.**

I should be back by now, if not:


 * 4**. **Begin Reading "How Ananse Gave Wisdom to the World", page 90-97**
 * Give students 14 self-stick notes each (peer tutors can help with this). Explain to students that they will use these notes to write questions about the pictures as they read. STUDENTS: DON'T WASTE THE STICKY NOTES--YOU NEED THEM FOR HOMEWORK.
 * Define: folk tale for students.
 * The teacher reads each page, followed by a student volunteer repeating.
 * Stop at each picture and have students write a question. Then, read the page the question appears on. After reading, use another sticky note to write the answer to your question.


 * 5. If time permits, begin homework.**
