Think-Pair-Share:
“What is a valley?” (land between mountains or hills)
“The text describes the valley as ‘marching.’ What does marching mean?” (walk steadily in step with others)
“So what does it mean when it says the valley is marching? Is the valley actually walking? Can land walk?” (The valley isn’t actually walking because land can’t walk. It means that as Percy looks down the valley, he can see the valley ends in water.)
“What kind of language is this? Why did the author choose to use it?” (figurative, because it helps paint a picture of what Percy can see)
Revisit the definition of figurative language from the Engage the Learner portion of this lesson.
Groupstudentsintopredeterminedtriads.DisplayanddistributetheAnalyzeFigurative Language note-catcher or Analyze Figurative Language note-catcher .

After 10 minutes, refocus the group. Invite students to share their responses, and clarify any misconceptions. Refer to Analyze Figurative Language note-catcher (example for teacher reference).
If productive, use Goal 1 Conversation Cues to encourage students to expand their ideas. “Can you say more about that?”
