Learning Objectives:
Students will be able to summarize paragraphs as they read them and use possessive nouns correctly.

Homework For Today:
No homework on Friday

Today's Agenda:
1. Warm-up and Correct the warm-up 2. Vocabulary Test #21--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. 4. Read The Simple Sport, pages 199-202 and write summary sentences for each paragraph using the Summary Chart. Answer the questions for the story on page 202. 5. Complete Review Key Vocabulary page 203.
