--Pick up an index card from the front table.
--Pick up a copy of the reading from the front table (a piece of historical nonfiction titled "Cowgirl Up!"). Back at your desk, purposefully read the piece.

*MR. MARTIN MODELS FIRST AS A REMINDER*

--agenda/HW
Instruction -- Vocabulary Unit #2
--Mr. Martin elicits a potential definition from a student for the words "jeered" through "lucrative" and writes the potential meanings on the front board--how did you arrive at your definition?--STUDENTS REASON/ENGAGE WITH THE TEXT AT THE SMARTBOARD
--go over Unit #2 word list (page 24)--read word aloud, have students repeat the word, and then read the part of speech/definition/sample sentence--repeat this process for the entire list
In order to actively engage, students should be:
a.) writing the words on the line for each sentence
b.) comparing actual definitions to "guesses" made using prior knowledge/context clues--how did you do?!
c.) putting a star next to "foreign" words (those that will definitely need to be studied).
