Grade 6: Module 1: Unit 1: Lesson 8
Opening
A. Engage the Learner – RL.6.6 (5 minutes)
Repeated routine: Follow the same routine as previous lessons to distribute and review Entrance Ticket: Unit 1, Lesson 8 or Entrance Ticket: Unit 1, Lesson 8 .
See Entrance Ticket: Unit 1, Lesson 8 (for teacher reference).
Invite students to share their entrance ticket with an elbow partner. Based on responses, update the Point of View anchor chart. Refer to the Point of View anchor chart (example for teacher reference).
Ensure students recognize that as the story goes on and readers learn more about Mr. Brunner, Percy’s point of view of Mr. Brunner changes. At the beginning of the story, Percy thought Mr. Brunner was a cool, interesting teacher. Then he was disappointed with Mr. Brunner because of the way he interpreted Mr. Brunner’s words. Now he knows Mr. Brunner was actually trying to help him and keep him safe at the school, so he has a positive opinion of him again.
Repeated routine: Follow the same routine as the previous lessons to review learning targets and the purpose of the lesson, reminding students of any learning targets that are similar or the same as previous lessons.
Work Time
A. Read The Lightning Thief, Chapter 6 Excerpt – RL.6.3 (15 minutes)
Repeated routine: Read aloud the selected excerpt, using Text Guide: The Lightning Thief for comprehension and vocabulary questions as needed. Students continue to record the gist on sticky notes, unpack and record unfamiliar vocabulary, and reflect on their reading as they choose. Refer to the following resources as appropriate to support this section of the lesson: Gist Record: The Lightning Thief anchor chart (example for teacher reference), vocabulary logs, chapter synopsis, and Work to Become Ethical
People anchor chart.
Excerpt: Starting at page 85 “When we were a few feet away, Annabeth said, ‘Jackson, you have to do better than that . . . ’” and ending at page 92 “‘. . . I’m thinking,’ she said, ‘that I want you on my team for capture the flag.’”
– Gist: Percy is assigned to Cabin 11, which is for Hermes and the undetermined demigods.
Ask:
“What challenges does Percy face in chapter 6?” (his identity as half-god; an encounter with Clarisse in the bathroom)
“What is his response to those challenges?” (Percy responds with disbelief when Annabeth explains that he is the son of a god. Percy is attacked by Clarisse yet somehow manages to get the best of her, much to his surprise.)
“What might that reveal about this character?” (Percy is skeptical and curious while also confused by what’s happening at this point in the text.)
