Lesson Plan for Thursday, April 24, 2014

Thursday, April 24, 2014
1.  Hand in:
           "Subordinating Conjunction Poem"
2.  Read today's poem:
            "Modifications" by Ron Koertge
             Text to text connection: 
                 "Because the rules are the only thing we've got."  (Ralph in LOTF, p. 91)
3.  Spelling Pretest, Lesson, and Post-test
               "Word Misspelled Because They Are Mispronounced"
               Here is a list of words that are often misspelled because they mispronounced.  To make the pretest (and the post-test) harder (and more fun), I will intentionally mispronounce the words when I give them to you.  When we correct the pretest, I will give you the correct spelling and the correct pronunciation.  The pretest will have 50 words (there are many more that could be on this list).  The post-test will have 10 words selected from the original 50.  Hand in the the post-test (worth 10 points).
4.  If time remains, work on the LOTF assignment or SSR.
