Practice Tactics
Have students open their Practice Book to page 50. Read the directions aloud
and have students read along with you. Explain the directions and model the activity.
Then, have students complete the page as independent class work or homework.
Home Connection
Write the Key Vocabulary on the board randomly for students to alphabetize.
Distribute Blackline Masters 2a and 2b. If necessary, review with students
how to fold the sheet to create a booklet. Provide more folded sheets if
necessary. Ask students to complete the first page by writing their names,
date, My Dictionary, and subject area. Have them write the words on the
remaining pages in a column. Next, ask students to use their own words to
write definitions for each word. Have them check their work by looking up
the correct definitions in their dictionaries. Explain that they should read their
definitions to their parents or guardians. Remind them to return their booklets
to school. Retain them for future use.

the classroom. Whisper a simple sentence
into the ear of the first person in line—for
instance,
The bluebirds are flying south.
Have students whisper the message to
the next person in line until all have heard
it. Have the last person in line repeat the
message aloud. Discuss how your message
changed—or did not change.
