Reminders:

 * Mr. Devine is in the Night Library every Monday after school.

Directions (students know to do this):

 * 1) Get your folder and all of its contents from.
 * 2) Take out your notebook.
 * 3) Copy today's **learning objectives** and **homework**.

__Learning Objectives__ (write on the board and have students copy in their planner/notebook)
Students will:
 * Gather research data using a survey.
 * Practice speaking English.

**Homework: (post on the board for students)**

 * Finish the survey. Remember, you need at least 30 people to participate in your survey. Ask other people outside of the class.


 * 1. Survey the Class**
 * Students walk around the room and ask each other their 5 research questions.
 * They keep track of "yes" and "no" responses. They will use these responses later in an Excel document.
 * Students must say the question to each other (in order to practice speaking English).
 * Students cannot simply hand a sheet of paper to someone to fill out--this must be done in interview style.
 * Students only interview each other--not the teacher--the teacher just walks around the room to make sure everyone is on task.
 * 2. Vocabulary Practice**
 * After students finish the survey, have students form groups of 4 or 5.
 * Have students turn to page 252 in their High Point books (blue cloud background)
 * Have students complete the vocabulary activities on this page in their notebooks.
