To start off this week, I distributed Lesson 6: TROUBLESHOOTING to the students and we began reading aloud, annotating, and working through a couple of the practice problems. In this lesson, the students are learning about the difference between foreseeable problems and unexpected problems. The word "foreseeable" was added to our vocabulary list. The lesson focuses on how to troubleshoot foreseeable problems in order to either prevent them from happening in the first place or be prepared to solve them if and when they occur.
The homework for today is to finish reading and annotation Lesson 6 and begin thinking about how to create an outline of the information presented in this lesson.
TUESDAY: Today the students worked with their "elbow partner" to brainstorm and create an outline of Lesson 6. I provided the students with "hints" throughout this process. The final "hint" was the structure of the outline (see below). Afterwards, I walked them through a troubleshooting scenario (see pg. 55 of Lesson 6), and then instructed them to complete Practice #3 on the back side of their outline for homework.

Next, I passed out Lesson 7 and informed the students of today's homework.
HOMEWORK: Read and annotate Lesson 7, and then complete an outline of Lesson 7.
THURSDAY: With the help of a student who wrote their own outline on the board, along with my verbal guidance, the students and I discussed how to accurately create the outline for Lesson 7 (see below). I guided them through a step-by-step process that they should follow when creating any outline of a lesson. While working through this process, we also came up with 2 new vocabulary words to be added to our list:

#13. substantiate: provide evidence to support or prove
