Unit 8: Review Study Records. Check Study Frequency and Study Path. Students should study lessons in both Units 7 and Unit 8. Review Study Score. Provide coaching information to improve Study Score. Check to see that they are recording sentences and monitoring their recording. Warm-up and Question Game Have students practice making questions. Give an answer, then they ask the question.

Feedback and Homework. Review, drill and practice key expressions from the lesson. Assign Written Exercise A. Warm-up and Question Game After warm-up, have students practice making questions. Give an answer, then they ask the question. (Pair/small group work). Example: "He ate two hot dogs." (How many hot dogs did he eat?) "I drank some tea." (What did you drink?)

Example: Here is a sample list and instructions: [10, 15, 32, 37, 83] (1) Put the largest number on the left. (2) Put the second smallest number on the right. (3) Now draw a circle around the two smallest numbers. (4) Now draw a square around the numbers greater than 30. (5) Now draw little triangles under the 3 largest numbers. Compare your lists.
