“I can use di erences among word connotations to determine meaning in The Lightning Thief.”
Tell students they will now participate in day 2 of a two-day a Language Dive to examine how di erences among word connotations help us determine meaning.
Reread aloud page 96 of The Lightning Thief.
Focus students on the sentence:
“I thought about some of the kids I'd seen in the Hermes cabin, teenagers who looked sullen and depressed, as if they were waiting for a call that would never come” (96).
Use the Language Dive Guide: The Lightning Thief , Page 96 (for teacher reference) and the Language Dive: The Lightning Thief , Page 96 sentence chunk strips to guide students through day 2 of the Language Dive conversation about the sentence. Display and ask students to retrieve their copies the Language Dive: The Lightning Thief , Page 96 note-catcher.
Repeated routine: Invite students to reflect on their progress toward the relevant learning targets.
