Say:
Curriculum:
AI: Students will use simple
information tools such as a glossary,
a simplified learner’s dictionary, and
a table of contents.
P: Students will produce a short
piece of coherent writing.
Go to pages 152-153 and find the
new words.
For each word, copy the sentence in
the book where you found the word.
Each little table has a missing word.
Copy the tables into your notebook
Copy that word into your notebook.
When you find all the words, copy the
table in ‘b’ at the bottom of the page and fill in the marked letters to find the secret
message from the Green Team.
Then go back to your word list and write a new sentence for each word you found.
Have the students answer in their notebooks.
When they have finished, go over the answers with them.
