Learning Objectives:
Students will be able to explain the many parts of using pronouns in sentences.

Homework For Today:
No homework on Friday

Today's Agenda:
1. Warm-up and Correct the warm-up 2. Vocabulary Test #7--Read each word in a different order and students will write the correct spelling on their own piece of paper. Make sure that you DO NOT allow students to correct the vocabulary tests in an effort to save time. They have a tendency to cheat when given this opportunity. Something else that works to decrease the amount of cheating with the vocabulary tests is to have students turn their papers over once they have finished the test. Then, they pass these tests up to the front without having the person in front of them looking for the correct answers and (possibly) changing the answers. 3. Review the concepts of pronouns with students, so that they really have a grasp of this concept. Pass out copies of page 18 of GWPB and tell students to do this page on their own. Then, correct the page with students. 4. Continue working on the review pages in the textbook. Pages 46-47 also have a chance to review, so students should write the answers to the questions in their notebooks. SKIP: ASK AND ANSWER QUESTIONS (PG 46) AND CONCEPT CLUSTERS (PG 47). Focus on Identify Sequence (pg 47) because students will be graded on this on their formative assessments. You may need to modify this in some way.
