__Agenda__

 * 1. Reading Fluency**
 * Model reading with intonation for students.
 * Read the paragraph at the top of page 532. (Growing Together)
 * Have students read along and repeat your words and intonation after each sentence.
 * Make sure all students participate.


 * 2. Prepare for tomorrow's test.**
 * Students have done an activity like this before. Have students form groups of 3 to 4 and complete this work together. Each student will still be doing their own work in their own notebook. Feel free to change student groups if you feel like it. Remind students, repeatedly, that they have a test tomorrow and I will be checking their work tomorrow--they are responsible for completing EVERYTHING on today's agenda (in class or at home). Students can take their books home to study for the test if they wish.
 * Page 45
 * Reading: 1-3
 * Vocabulary: 1-8 (yes, students write the sentences)
 * Writing: be sure to explain to students that they are not simply copying the picture in the book and filling in the blanks. They are thinking of a place that is important to them, drawing a picture of it, and then using the sentence frames in the sample they are explaining why the place is important to them.
 * Page 46
 * Grammar: 1-10 (as groups finish page 45, walk around to make sure they are finishing page 46 correctly)


 * 3. Just in case**
 * If students do finish this assignment with time left in class, please have the students share their responses with the entire class. Call on a variety of students. Please keep students working the entire class period.
