Require Learner Participation
//Monday//: As a class, we will read __//The// Gentleman //and the// Kitchen Maid__. After reading the story you can give the students the vocabulary word list found in the lesson folder. After reading the list over once with the class work with the students to locate the words. As each word is located a couple of students should be given the chance to look at context clues and predict what the word means. After giving a couple of students the chance to do this the you will need to write out the definition on your overhead copy and allow the students time to copy the definition on their paper.

//Tuesday:// Make sure the students areas are cleaned up and then have them line up quietly to go to the computer lab. Once in the computer lab they will each be assigned a computer. You can then open up Microsoft Word on the projector connected to the computer. Taking about 5-10 minutes go over basics of Microsoft Word like how to use clip art and ask if the students have any questions about the program or assignment. The students can then work individually to create their sentences and match pictures to each sentence. You should walk around the classroom and make sure everyone is on track. When they only have 10 minutes left to work warn them. Use the last 5 minutes of the class to show them how to save or print out their sentences.

//Wednesday:// Each student has an activity book. They must complete 3 of these 5 Activities in their notebook. Students must work individually. The magazines that are allowed to be use for activity 1 are in the cabinet labeled arts and crafts in the classroom; there are also extra glue sticks in there. As the students finish collect their notebooks and have them read quietly so they do not disturb the other students. They may also complete any of the practice activities i left in the lesson folder if they ask for one; like the crossword puzzle.

//Thursday:// Just like Tuesday the students' areas need to be clean before they line up to go to the computer lab. There is a list of partners for in the lesson folder for this activity since it takes a little more effort than the one on Tuesday. After setting up the students at their computers, open up Microsoft PowerPoint on the projector and show the students how to do add a background, add animation, and refresh their memories on how to use clip art. The students will then create a short story with their vocabulary words. Remember you should walk around the classroom to check their progress and focus. When they have only 10 minutes left tell them and then use the last five minutes of class to show them how to save or print their PowerPoint story.

//Friday//: You will need to have the students separate their desks a little bit or put up their folders to prevent them from cheating. First, they need to be given a blank sheet of paper and you will read of the spelling word and use it in a sentence. Repeat this for each word. After going through the list once ask anyone if they need one repeated, but don't repeat the word more than once. If they weren't listening then they will have to get it wrong. Remind the students to put their name and the date on their paper and then collect them. After collecting those papers, hand out the test labeled Vocabulary __//The// Gentleman //and the// Kitchen Maid__. After they finish this test they can turn it in and read quietly or work on other subjects. NO TALKING as it will disturb the other students.
