__Agenda__
students come in and copy the learning objectives and homework in their planners--then begin the lesson.


 * 1. Vocabulary Practice**
 * call on students at random to give you sentences (this was their homework) for each vocabulary word (poster hanging on the board).


 * 2. Ways to Know You, cont.**
 * pages 58-61 (we have already read pages 56-57)
 * Finish reading and responding to Monitor Comprehension questions. (Teacher reads each page, then call on a student volunteer to read the page again--stop at the Monitor Comprehension questions and ask students to respond).
 * Then, the teacher reads the selection again from the beginning. Students write summaries of each page on on sticky notes--one summary per page--and stick them in the book (have a Teacher's Aide give each student 6 or 7 sticky notes).
 * Afterward, students form groups of 3 to 4 and respond to questions 1-3 on page 61.

after most students have finished, move on to activity 3


 * 3. How to Identify Sequence**
 * Students take notes on How to Identify a Sequence on page 62.
 * First, have students copy the steps to the strategy in their notebooks--this should only take a couple of minutes.
 * Then, read through page 62--first you read then call on students to read.
 * If time permits begin/finish reading this selection.


 * If there is any time remaining in class, have students begin their homework: Write a paragraph about Halloween using sensory details.
