TEACHING Tip Keep track of papers for absent students. Make it a habit to write the names of absent students on worksheets, tests, or notices as you pass them out.
TEACHER TALK
Homographs are words that are
spelled the same but have different
meanings and pronunciations, such
as a bow on stage and a bow on
a gift.
Be sure to schedule
time for students
to work on the unit
inquiry project "Great
Adventures in History." This week students develop inquiry questions about an historical adventure.
