November+6,+2008

Learning Objectives:
Students will be able ask questions using the word "does."

Homework For Today:
Copy Vocabulary List #6 5X

Today's Agenda:
1. Warm-up and correct the warm-up 2. Tell students to take out Vocabulary List #6 and read each word to them while they listen and repeat each word. Tell students to turn their papers over and number their papers 7-10. Read numbers 7-10 and students will practice writing these words. Remember to correct the spelling of ALL the vocabulary words (#1-10) with students, so they are able to practice the test taking routine. Tell students "tomorrow is your vocabulary test, so remember to do your homework and STUDY!" 3. Using an overhead transparency of page 13 in the GWPB, pass out copies of page 13 of GWPB and practice with students as you teach them the concept. 4. Formative Assessment Instruction/Practice: Write a list (about 5 or 6) of sight sensory details on the board. Tell students to use words from the list to help them or use their own and write three sentences related to what happened on their first day of school. 5. If time (we have a special schedule today), students should "Scan for Vocabulary" for page 36 and 37 of the story, //Growing Together//, found in the textbook. If you do not know what "Scan for Vocabulary" means, Maxine does this really well and I can help you too. She taught me how to use the strategy.
