WEEK OF MONDAY AUGUST 18, 2008

MONDAY:  Review section 1.6 assignment and Chapter 1 Review.
STATE STANDARDS - 
OBJECTIVE – TSW prepare for Chapter 1 Test
STRATEGIES/INSTRUCTIONS/ACTIVITIES……….PRACTICE & ASSESMENT -  Students will 
work in groups to complete the “Lesson-by-Lesson Review” on pages 47 – 50.  
At the end of “group time,” each group will present concepts their group has 
questions on.  First, other groups will attempt to explain the concept and, 
if needed, I will assist/explain the concept.  Strategies used will 
include:  Identifying similarities and differences; Summarizing; Practice; 
Cooperative Learning; Providing Feedback; Generating and Testing Hypotheses; 
Cue and Questions.  Daily journal entry summarizing today's lesson and 
discussing areas of confidence and concern.
