Teaching Notes
Alignment to Assessment Standards and Purpose of Lesson
L.4.1f – Opening A: Students complete an entrance ticket in which they correct a fragment from The Lightning Thief and turn it into a complete sentence. This builds on the activity in Lesson 9. Students briefly review this activity during Work Time B before they complete the text-dependent questions.
RL.6.1 – Work Time A: Students complete day 2 of a two-day Language Dive (day 1 occurs as part of Lesson 9), using evidence to support their analysis of what the sentence says. See the Tools Page (http://eled.org/tools) for additional information regarding a consistent Language Dive routine. Students then apply their understanding of word connotations to chapter 8 for homework, through both open-ended and selected response questions. Please refer to Homework: Lesson 10: Language Dive Practice: Word Connotation: The Lightning Thief, Chapter 8 (answers for teacher reference).
L.6.4 – Work Time A: During the Language Dive, students apply strategies to determine the meanings of unknown words in a sentence from The Lightning Thief.
L.6.5 – Work Time A: During the Language Dive, students analyze connotations and denotations of the words sullen and depressed.
RL.6.1–WorkTimeB:Studentsreadthenextchapterofthetextandfindthegist.Students also unpack unfamiliar vocabulary and answer comprehension questions using inferences and evidence from text.
RL.6.3 – Work Time B: After students finish reading, they are invited to discuss the challenges that Percy faced in chapter 8, describe his responses to those challenges, and speculate about connections between his actions and his character.
