Week+9+-+Review+of+1st+Nine+Weeks


 * Day 1 (30 minutes of instructional time)**


 * Lesson Objectives:**


 * 1) TLW


 * Materials:**


 * 1) None
 * Guided Practice:**
 * 1) After administering the weekly academic vocabulary test, allow students to use the rest of the time as opportunity time to work on homework, read an AR book, or study for upcoming tests.
 * Closure:**
 * 1) Explain to students that on the block day, they will be reviewing all of the academic vocabulary words that they have been given up to this point. Encourage them to look over the words before the next day of class.


 * Day 2 – (45 instructional minutes)**


 * Lesson Objectives:**


 * 1) TLW


 * Materials:**


 * 1) Art supplies (printer/construction/manila paper, crayons, markers, colored pencils, etc.)
 * 2) Previous Academic Vocabulary tests
 * Guided Instruction:**


 * 1) Use the previous academic vocabulary tests to remind the students of what the previous words were and give definitions/explanations for any words that may have been forgotten.
 * Instructional Activity:**


 * 1) Divide your students into 8 groups.
 * 2) Assign each group one half of the words from a particular subject area.
 * 3) Encourage students to use their own previous notes to get the definitions for each word, but if necessary allow them to copy the definitions from an old test.
 * 4) Each group will use the provided art supplies to design posters exemplifying the words that have been assigned to the group. Explain that the posters do not have to be strictly drawing, discussing campaign posters or movie posters as an example. Encourage the students to incorporate more than one word into each poster whenever possible.


 * Closure:**


 * 1) Have students share their posters.
 * 2) Ask them which words were the easiest/hardest to learn over the past weeks. Facilitate a discussion about how each student best learns new words.


 * Day 3 (45 instructional minutes)**


 * Lesson Objectives:**


 * 1) TLW
 * Materials**:


 * 1) "Wheel of Fortune" spinner [[file:wheel.ppt]]
 * 2) Previous academic vocabulary tests
 * Guided Instruction:**


 * Instructional Activity:**


 * 1) Have students get back into their groups.
 * 2) You should have a copy of each previous test or index cards or other device for asking questions which includes each word and its definition.
 * 3) Using the "Wheel of Fortune" ppt, spin to select the first group to answer a question. (This game will work best if you can project the ppt so that the students can see the game, but it can still be played if this is not possible. If you cannot run the ppt at all you can just go around the room having each group answer a question.)
 * 4) Give the first group a definition and allow them 30 seconds to provide the correct vocabulary word. Continue the game until all the words have been given, stopping to discuss any word that many students seem unsure about. If time permits, you can add another round to the game, giving words that were missed the first time around.


 * Closure:**


 * 1) Ask students why they think it is important to learn these words. Point out that these are words that they will use many times throughout the course of their education and that they are necessary to understand in order to be as successful as they can be.
