__Agenda__
0. Students enter the room and copy the learning objectives and homework in their notebooks or planners. Give students 2 or 3 minutes to do this before beginning the Agenda. Remind students to take their books home (they are not allowed to leave them behind in class) and bring them back tomorrow.

1. Unit 4 Cluster 2
 * Quizlet
 * Show the Quizlet. Allow students 5 to 8 minutes to match the word to the definition.
 * Review vocabulary with students. Have volunteers read words/definitions.

2. Complete Language Workshop, page 273.
 * All students should have their books with them. If they don't have their book, please write their name down to let me know.
 * Students will describe a weather event that they experienced or heard about.
 * If nothing else, remind students about the tornado we read about in "Tornado Survivor". They can write about that tornado if they wish.
 * Review this chart with students:
 * Have students form groups of 3 to 4.
 * Give student groups 10 to 15 minutes to write their paragraphs. Each student will answer:
 * 1) What happened? "A --- happened."
 * 2) When and where did it happen? "It happened --- in ---."
 * 3) What did people do? "People had to --."
 * After 15 minutes, tell students to take turns reading their paragraphs out loud to each other. Walk around the room to make sure students are doing this.
 * Finally, ask a student from each group to read his/her paragraph to the class.

3. Example Webs, p. 274
 * Staying in groups, have students create an example web of each vocabulary word on page 274. There is a picture of what an example web should look like in the bottom corner of the page.
 * Tell students to find English words that are related to/synonyms for our vocabulary words. Students should find at least 4 related words/phrases for each vocabulary word (8 separate Example webs).

4. Just in case
 * If students happen to finish everything above, please have them write two sentences for each vocabulary word on page 274.
