1. Window Panes
Reviewing Vocabulary

2. Window paning is a great strategy for organizing steps to a process or revisiting previously learned vocabulary. The teacher will provide you with information needed to complete your window panes each week. You will be given 8 words each Monday. If you are absent, it is your responsibility to catch up when you return to class. You will complete your window pane during the week, either during “dead” time in the class, during homeroom, or at home. It will be evaluated on Friday for completion and accuracy for a class grade. You will have a quiz every other Friday over the window pane words for a quiz grade.
