__Expanded Agenda__:

1. Whole Group Instruction
 * Week 1 Formative Assessment. Students are taking a test and turning it in. They are only getting 20 minutes total for this test. Please leave the tests (which include writing prompts and a writing plan graphic organizer) on my desk.



2. Student Centered Learning Environments
 * Our students will get in to 3 groups after the test. Collect all tests after ~20 minutes of test time. Students already know they are broken up into 3 groups. I will be back right as class is ending (I hope). Please let me know which students "forgot" about how to do this class procedure. These are the activities students will be doing today. I had them get pages ready in their notebook before leaving today. Students know that all unfinished work is homework. __**Please give students only 12-15 minutes per group, then have students rotate**:__


 * **SMALL GROUP**, near the back white board:
 * Read "First Names" pages 14-18. Answer 1-3 on page 19.
 * **INDIVIDUAL/COMPUTER**, the desks against the window and back wall:
 * check your work:
 * Is your Table of Contents complete?
 * Are there dates and titles are at the top of each page?
 * Do you have any missing work? Check with the people around you.


 * **DIRECT INSTRUCTION**, near the front of the room, so students can see the projection screen:
 * Students complete the sentences in their notebook. The teacher models (with student help) the first pair of sentences.
 * Possible Answer for #1: "The name Amy means loved. When I think of it, I visualize a heart."
 * Then, have students share out. This is a speaking activity despite all the writing students are doing.
