 * This is a 3 column graphic organizer. Ask students how to do this and then remind them of the 3 steps:
 * 1) In the first column, students scan through the reading selection and write down EVERY word they do not understand.
 * 2) In the 2nd column, students will write the translation of the word.
 * 3) In the 3rd column, students will write a synonym (preferably an English synonym) for the word.
 * As students scan for words they don't know, walk around the room to challenge students who are writing few words (What does this word mean? How about this one? If you don't know the word, write it down!)
 * Students will use this personal vocabulary list as they read the selection, so it is important that they take this task seriously and clarify all words that they don't understand.

Students may begin homework if time permits.
