Down the Road
In the next lesson, students continue in their anchor text, reading from chapter 10 of The Lightning Thief for gist and unfamiliar vocabulary, and then begin determining themes in The Lightning Thief, which sets the stage for continued work with theme in Unit 2.
For the rest of Unit 1, students continue to read excerpts from chapters of The Lightning Thief, determining gist, recording unfamiliar vocabulary, and examining point of view and use of language. During Unit 2, students read Greek stories introduced in the novel and view clips from the film version of The Lightning Thief to compare the experience of reading versus viewing the story.
Students’ Mid-Unit 1 Assessments will be returned in Lesson 15 with feedback.
