TCI Lesson 3

Today students reviewed their vocabulary terms in class for accuracy. We began in earnest on Lesson 3 in TCI and just got started with section 1 and part of section 2. Students responded to the text comprehension questions as we went. Teachers modeled reading and thinking of the concepts on these sections and students were encourage to use the "main idea" and "add notes" functions. The assessment for Lesson 3 will be on Friday and students have completed a gallery walk where they worked on and then shared vocabulary terms with one another. A rather long Study Stack was shared yesterday on announcements that included the vocabulary and content questions. Also, a list of concept topics was shared on Monday evening's announcement.

Test Tips:
