0. Students will enter the room and copy the learning objectives and homework in their notebooks. When working, students write the titles of each task at the top of a page in their notebook or a sheet of paper (i.e., "5/26/11 Grammar Practice.."). Please be sure students are working the entire period. Also, please send all 10th grade students to the student center for a hearing test (you can send them later in the period if you'd like). This lesson relies heavily on pair-sharing. This just means having students talking/sharing with a neighbor for a period of 30 seconds to 2 minutes depending on the activity. They don't need to move desks or switch desks for pair-shares.

1. Unit 4, Cluster 3 Vocabulary and Unit 4 Grammar Practice
 * Quizlet (show students the Quizlet, have them copy the definitions and pick the word on page 296 that best matches the definition)
 * Grammar Transparencies (today do pages 62-63)
 * 5/26/11 Grammar Practice, Irregular Verbs
 * Review each grammar concept and then have students complete the practice activities in their notebook.
 * After, have students pair-share their responses.
 * Have student volunteers share their answers with the whole class.

2. Review paragraphs from yesterday.
 * Students did the activity on page 292 yesterday.
 * Have students pair-share their paragraphs.

3. 5/26/11 How to Clarify Vocabulary page 297
 * Students copy the 4 steps in the yellow box, Cornell Note style.
 * Read through each step with students.
 * Have students explain the 4 steps to each other in a pair-share activity.

4. 5/26/11 Parts of Speech Practice
 * Read the sample sentences under each vocabulary word on page 296.
 * The 1st sentence is the definition, the 2nd sentence is the same sentence.
 * Have students identify the following for each sample sentence:
 * subject:
 * (have students identify the complete subject for the sample sentence using "physical")
 * verb:
 * object:
 * Then, have students circle the vocabulary word and identify its part of speech (noun, verb, adjective).
 * Help students see the patterns:
 * subjects and objects are nouns.
 * adjectives often come before nouns.
 * a verb often has a noun before and after it.
