Week #3, Day #4 Warm-up Sentences: 1. this summer we is going to camp illahee in the Appalachian mountains 2. frank ann and robert are going to see the movie at 445

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 and underline nouns, circle verbs and put a box around any adjectives. 2. Students should take out their vocabulary list and flashcards and copy each word and the definition for each word on a separate piece of paper 2X to hand in. 3. Write a narrative prompt on the board. Get one from the Internet or make one up yourself. Have aides translate the prompt and tell students they will have 45-50 minutes to complete the prompt. Some students will only be able to write a paragraph, but others will want to write an intro, body p, and conclusion. This is great and just let it happen. 4. Have students complete Review Key Vocabulary on page 393 in prep for their test tomorrow and go thru page 394 with them and see what happens. This is about grammar stuff so it is helpful.
