On Monday, we will review the vocabulary words from Unit 4. Definitions and related words were given last week. Students will complete a practice worksheet and then work in collaborative pairs to discuss and revise answers. On Tuesday, we will review the worksheet as a class so that students may use it to study for the quiz on Wednesday.
On Thursday and Friday, we will read a non-fiction article from the textbook and review figurative language.
