Big Idea: Structures have interrelated parts

Essential Questions: Where am I going? What will I give back?

Is it parallel or not?

Objectives: I can...
...identify grammatically correct sentences.
...plan for the college fair.
...set and meet a personal goal.
...make a to do list for tomorrow. 

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

1) Warm Up: Parallel Structure and Accuplacer Prep (15 min)

1. All: Take 5 minutes to work through some of the exercises here. Need help? Check the rules here.
2. Math 3 Students: English Accuplacer is on Monday, 3/13 at 9am :)
1. Work through study guide (sentence skills, reading comprehension) or practice test questions OR the WritePlacer document for 7 minutes.
2. Add at least one question to the document here. Ms. Delmaine and I will be adding answers, so check back!!!!
3. Non-Math 3 Students: Time for YOU!

1. Continue the grammar exercise.
2. Work on homework or revisions.
3. Read or draw. 

2) Lesson Plan Part 1: College Fair Presentation Planning (30 min)

1. Move into groups and choose your colleges (we'll do this the very fair way - by rolling dice...).
   
   
   
   

   1st Block 2 groups of 2, 2 groups of 3	3rd Block 5 groups of 3, 1 group of 2	4th Block 3 groups of 3, 1 group of 2
   -UNC Greensboro -UCLA -Shaw University -Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University	-UNC Chapel Hill -NC A&T -Air Force Academy -West Point Military Academy -Virginia Commonwealth University -Columbia University	-UNC Pembroke -Meredith College -Brevard College -William and Mary University

2. Get your copy of the planning document.
3. Add your group member names and college name at the top of the document.
4. Read through the planning document as a group and add question marks for things you need to ask me.
5. Begin to work. I suggest keeping all notes for the presentation poster in one google doc, shared with everyone, or note paper that is stapled to your packet. 
6. When the timer goes off, place your paper in the drawer for your AVID period. This is where your paper ALWAYS stays!!!! 

3) Lesson Plan Part 2: End the Quarter Strong Marathon (Until the end of class)

1. Open up your copy of the document here and review what tasks you need to accomplish today. Notes about missing/late work/revision due dates:
1. Sawyer: Due 4pm today
2. Rice: Due 8am tomorrow
3. Cheatham: Due before your test
4. Foster: Due by lunch tomorrow (I have to leave early for a Drs appointment)
5. Other teachers: Due before the end of the day on Thursday
2. Write each task you will do on a mini sticky note.
3. As you accomplish your tasks, post your sticky notes on the front board.
4. At the end of the period, write yourself a to do list for tonight. 
5. **Optional: Want to bring up your TRF grades? I will replace your LOWEST TRF grade if you thoughtfully complete the goal setting sheet and confronting procrastination sheets TODAY.**
