B. Read The Lightning Thief, Chapter 7 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 93 “Word of the bathroom incident spread immediately . . .” and ending at page 100 “; and starting at page 105 “When everybody had returned to their seats . . .” and ending at page 106 “. . . I wish I’d known how briefly I would get to enjoy my new home.”
– Gist: Percy settles into camp and gets to know Annabeth and Luke better. Ask:
“What challenge does Percy face in chapter 7?” (coming to terms with his father as a god)
“What is his response to that challenge?” (Percy is beginning to realize Annabeth may be telling the truth, but his emotions go back forth between wanting to believe that his father really loved his mother and is di erent from Annabeth’s to being angry and resentful that his father has been absent.)
“What might that reveal about this character?” (Percy feels lost and unsure about whom to trust and what to think about the information he’s trying to process.)
“In what ways did the characters demonstrate or not demonstrate a habit of character in this chapter?” (Possible response: Percy demonstrates empathy when Annabeth sadly explains that she has no contact with her immortal mother or her mortal father.)
