Homework:
Choosing the Right Word Unit 1 vocab

Today:
I introduced students to the responder system I use in my room.  Basically, each student has a remote.  Questions are displayed on the screen, and the students register their answers.  I will also use the remotes to score their vocab quizzes.  When they finish the test, they will know how they did immediately.  In fact, we can review the answers to the test right there.  I will demonstrate the system at Open House.

I also continued to show students how to do the vocabulary exercises.  We reviewed the synonyms and began the choosing.  For the choosing, students should highlight the context clues that helped them determine the answer.
