0. Students enter the room, sit in their assigned seats (see seating chart), and copy the daily learning objectives and homework. Quickly read and briefly explain the learning objectives before beginning the lesson. Stop often during the lesson to allow for processing and comprehension. Students will write/speak in English/Spanish/Arabic/Farsi/etc. during this lesson.

**note: Today people will be coming by to conduct STAR Chats--calling students out one-by-one during the period. The STAR Chat pamphlets are on my desk.

1. Unit 4, Cluster 1 Vocabulary
 * Quizlet
 * Click on the above quizlet. Have students copy the definition and match them to our vocabulary words (word wall at the back of the room). 5-6 min.
 * After, ask student volunteers to give you each answer. Type it in and click check answers.

2. 4/11/11 Essential Question Bubble Map
 * page 240: Essential Question: What does it take to survive?
 * Help students to understand the word "survive". Give students time to explain this and the question to each other.
 * Have students form groups of 3 to 4 (they are already in these groups according to the seating chart--they just need to turn their desks).
 * In their groups, students will create bubble maps in their notebooks with the Essential Question in the middle, and their responses all around it. 3-5 min.
 * Ask groups to share their ideas while you create a bubble map on the white board/ELMO.
 * After this, read through page 242 with students. Then, have students translate/explain the ideas on page 242 to each other.

3. 4/11/11 Study the Concept
 * Students will answer the 3 questions on page 243 in their groups.
 * Before having students answer the questions, help students understand the 3 concept words:
 * survive
 * emergency
 * instinct
 * 1) Have students create a list for this question. No sentences required.
 * 2) When there is an emergency............ One way I help others is ................
 * 3) In an emergency, my instinct tells me......................... One time................................
 * If time permits, call student groups to share their responses.

If time is still available, have students write a sentence for each word on page 248.
