Learning Objectives:
Students will be able to summarize a story.

Homework For Today:
No homework on Friday

Today's Agenda:
1. Warm-up and Correct the warm-up 2. Vocabulary Test #11--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. Pass out page 27 of GWPB to students and guide them through this page as you teach them the concept. 4. Tell students to open their textbooks to page 67 and review the main concepts of the two stories, Ways to Know You and Who Is She? Continue reviewing through pages 68-69. Complete all parts of the pages.
