**************************

1) Warm Up: Study Tool Selections (5 min)

1. Use your TOC Round Up, current grades in PowerSchool, and class experiences to choose a class to focus on by making a study tool.
2. Complete the form below.

2) Literacy Block: TPEQEA Workshop (30 min)

1. Before you read: 
1. Define "elaborate" at the top of your "Responding to Quotes" sheet.
2. Share how you write elaboration sentences.
2. While you read:

1. Highlight sections that give you "Aha!" moments and ideas for what to write when you write your elaboration sentences.
2. Put question marks by confusing parts.
3. After you read:
1. Ask any questions you have.
2. Number off.
3. Write an elaboration sentence that continues the paragraph below.
1. There are many different ways to study. The best way to study is in a tiered approach because then you are prepared to help others and you remember everything in the way you need to. According to a psychology professor, Scott Plous, "During the first phase, carefully review your notes and the textbook, perhaps creating flashcards to help you remember definitions, theories, and other important material. Then, once you feel confident of the material, study with one or more classmates (or with a TA during weekly office hours)" (Plous).
4. Share your sentence with the class.
5. Discuss: How can we use the structure of TPEQEA to help us on exams?
6. Ten minutes for you: 
1. Option 1: Find a TPEQEA paragraph and work on revising it.
2. Option 2: Write a practice TPEQEA paragraph responding to the question, "Why is ten day review important?". 
3. Option 3: Write an analysis sentence to finish the paragraph your group worked on. Study or read quietly.

3) Lesson Plan: Study Tool Creation (25 min)

1. Tab the pages in your notes that review the concepts you will cover with your study tool.
2. Read through the requirements and resources below.
3. Begin creating your study tool.
