__Learning Objectives__ (write on the board and have students copy in their planner/notebook)
Students will:
 * Learn about adjectives that compare.
 * Learn to express opinions.
 * Learn Key vocabulary.


 * 1.** **Finish Grammar In Context page 204 (in the Blue HIgh Point books).** [5-10 minutes]
 * Students took notes on this yesterday, so all they need to do is the practice.
 * Students must work independently, but they can ask for help and help each other as long as they do so quietly.
 * Students complete practice 1-3 at the bottom of page 204 in the summary section of the note page from yesterday (at the bottom of their Cornell Notes).
 * All students should have a total of 9 sentences.
 * 2. Express Opinions**
 * **Show students the cartoon on page 206. [5 minutes]**
 * Ask the students if anyone knows what the joke is.
 * Explain that "garden" sounds a lot like "guarding".
 * **After the cartoon, have students form groups of 3 to 4 and have them complete MAKE A MIND MAP at the top of page 207.** [20-25 minutes]
 * Each student needs a mind map in his/her notes.
 * Have students extend the mind map to include natural resources and then off of each resource should be more bubbles that include explanations as to why they are important.
 * **BUILD YOUR VOCABULARY page 207** [3-6 minutes]
 * Teach students the word conservation.
 * Have students add to their mind maps after answering the question on this section of the page: "What are some ways that conservation can help us take care of our natural resources?"
 * 3. New Vocabulary** [10-15 minutes]
 * Have students copy the new vocabulary terms on page 208 in their notebook in the Cornell Note style (words on one side, definition on the other). Help explain words to them if they have difficulty understanding them. They can work in groups on this, but each student needs their own vocabulary list.
 * 4. Work on homework** (if there is time)--sentences for the words on page 194. Due tomorrow.
