Day 7 Dictionary Work

Alphabetical Order Review

The instructor will review the concept of Alphabetical order, and then hand out pages 9 and 10 of Empowering the Learner 2 to do individually.

Dictionary Skills

The instructor will write the word community on the white board, and get the students to look it up in their dictionaries. He will then point out the guide words at the top of the page, and how the word community fits between those words. After that, the students will get page 12 and 13 of Empowering the Learner 2 and do the exercises regarding guide words. The students will then read the story on page 11, circling 5 words that start with "g" to complete all the exercises.

Journaling Activity

Student will be given a copy of I Am Already Successful, p. 38 and 39. Using the dictionary, the students will look up the terms 'unique' and 'successful'. They will do the exercises rewrite the definitions using their own words.

Students will then answer the following questions in their journals:
Think of someone who you think is successful. How do you measure their success? How did they get that way? Were they born that way or work for it? What qualities are you born with, and which ones are learned? In what ways do you feel successful?
