Week #1, Day #3 Warm-up Sentences: 1. what time does the new movie the new family begin 2. can my new friend ryan come to the party this friday

Today's Agenda:
1. 2 Sentence Warm-up. (Write 2 sentences on the board and teach students that each day they will come in and copy the sentences, then correct any mistakes. 2. Students should take out their vocabulary list and flashcards. Students can now start to write a sentence using the word to practice, or they can find a sentence from the story with the vocabulary word in it and copy it on a piece of paper. Encourage the first one. :) 3. Grammar Work: As a class, come up with 20 or so nouns and verbs (10 of each) and write those words on the board. Choose a theme to make it easier like "school" or something. Then, break students into groups of 4 and have them play Pictionary with each other using ONLY the agreed upon class words. Students have to determine if the action or noun being drawn is a noun or a verb. This just came to me...maybe it will work, but if you can think of something else to review this concept go right ahead. 4. Review the story, Frijoles on pages 335-340. Ask some probing questions and perhaps have students write their own questions for the story and partners can answer the questions. 5. If time, begin to teach Narrative. Start with asking the students what they remember about Narratives because most of them have written these during this past school year. Or, if you have a lot of newcomers, ask them what if any experience they have had writing a narrative.
