Learning Objectives: Students will be able to write a body paragraph for a research essay.

Homework For Today:
Copy Vocabulary List #26 5X

Today's Agenda:
1. Warm-up and correct the warm-up 2. Tell students to take out Vocabulary List #26 and read each word to them while they listen and repeat each word. Tell students to turn their papers over and number their papers 7-10. Read numbers 7-10 and students will practice writing these words. Remember to correct the spelling of ALL the vocabulary words (#1-10) with students, so they are able to practice the test taking routine. Tell students "tomorrow is your vocabulary test, so remember to do your homework and STUDY!" 3. Grammar Book page 111-112. 4. Teach students how to write a body paragraph for a research essay. For the first body paragraph, use the two quotes from source #1 and for the second body paragraph use the two quotes from source #2. Not saying you have to write both body paragraphs today, just saying that this is something they should be working on throughout. In total, students will have an introduction, 2 body paragraphs with 2 quotes in each, and a conclusion.
