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

Please get through as much of the lesson as you are able to. I know there is a lot here, I wanted to make sure that you didn't run out of activities.


 * 1. Ways to Know You**
 * Please re-read the selection with student volunteers: pages 56-61.
 * 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). We did a similar thing on Friday, but we didn't have the sticky notes. This time students will write a summary on sticky notes and stick them on the pages corresponding to the summary. If students want, they can write the summary in English and their primary language (they will need more stickies if they want to do this--feel free to give them more).


 * 2. How to Identify Sequence**
 * Students should have taken notes on How to Identify a Sequence on page 62 on Friday.
 * Review this page with them--calling on student volunteers to read
 * Please remind students that I will be checking their notes tomorrow to make sure they have the steps for now to identify sequence.
 * Students will be creating a sequence chart (as seen on page 62) as you read "Who Is She?"


 * 3. "Who Is She?"**
 * pages 62-66.
 * Please read each page aloud to students. After each page, call on students to re-read the page--then move on to the next page, followed by students re-reading, and so on.
 * Stop to answer the Monitor Comprehension questions in the bottom corners of the pages--call on students and help them generate responses. Students need to write their answers to these questions in their notes.
 * Have students develop a sequence chart (see page 62) as you/they read. Please model the sequence chart by keeping one on the white board while reading. Give students time to add to their chart then ask them what should be on yours. Remind students to use their own brain to make their own chart instead of waiting to see what you write on the board.


 * 4. Analyze "Who is she?" page 66**
 * Form groups of 3 to 4.
 * Answer questions 1-3.


 * 5. If time permits, students can begin their homework:**
 * Vocabulary Pictures
 * Draw a picture for each vocabulary word
