This is the picture used for the word discriminate.

Objective: I can infer meaning, using evidence from the text in my answer.

Students started class with a wacky words warm-up, then wrote the week's agenda in their agenda books. New vocabulary was introduced using a puzzle activity. Students practiced: supreme court, injustice, discriminate, slavery, doctorate, legislate, ethnicity, civil rights, and violence. Students then answered questions 1,3, and 4 on page 189 of High Point Level B and began marking the text "The Weeping Time." Tomorrow, we will read that text.

Warm-Up: Fill in the word needed to complete each sentence correctly.
USE: Accept or Except
1. I ___________ your invitation.
2. Aaron has all of his homework completed ____________ math.
3. Will you ____________ my apology, please?
4. _____________ for all the rain, I sure enjoy living in Oregon.
5. Melissa will graciously ___________ the award.
6. Everyone will be there ___________ for you.

accept – take/lose except – exclude or but
