We had a blast today teaching each other the vocab. Having done it very successfully on TUesday, the students were well prepared to teach the vocab today. I played the bad student every once in a while (passed notes, went to sleep on the table) to keep the "teacher" on his/her toes. It was a nice class and the kids really learned.

Fun class. I am so glad Diane taught me this effective way to teach vocab!
The students tried a new trick on FRiday while I was absent. They were supposed to teach each other the vocab words from Gatsby. The homework was to write it up and turn it in. They all did their homework for today and they continued to teach each other the vocab. They did a great job and I think each enjoyed his/her turn playing teacher. I was very pleased with them.

We reviewed inverse functions and how to find them. Then, I moved on to section 9.1, and we spoke about direct, inverse and joint variation and how to write models for different problems.
Students read the next chapter (chapter 10) of the Alejandro reader. They became familiar with the vocabulary intro and then read through the chapter and answered the exercises after the chapter reviewing comprehension.
