Objectives: 1. I can reflect on my progress in LAI and complete work to meet my goals. 2. I can use evidence from the text to support a purpose statement, using complete sentences, and explaining my ideas. To start class, students wrote their homework and assignments for the week in their agendas. Homework: turn in missing work by Wednesday. Students wrote what work is missing in their agendas. We also passed back graded papers and discussed class goals. Students began the post-test, which tests their ability to use evidence to support an opinion. The test also measures the students' abilities to read a grade-level text. Warm-up: Capitalize geographic names. Don't capitalize “earth” if it has “the” before it. Example: There is a rocky island in the atlantic ocean called st. helena. 1. Ships use the panama canal to pass between the caribbean sea and the pacific ocean. 2. We toured the museum located at 247 dixon parkway. 3. The gateway arch in st. louis, missouri rises 630 feet high.
