Grade 6: Module 1: Unit 1: Lesson 11
“Where have you seen examples of perseverance demonstrated in The Lightning Thief?” (Possible response: When Percy is attempting to find out what he is good at, he tries archery, racing, and wrestling before realizing he excelled at canoeing. He didn’t give up even when he was feeling frustrated.)
As students share, record their responses in the appropriate column on the Work to Become E ective Learners anchor chart.
Record perseverance on the academic word wall. Invite students to add translations of the words in their home languages in a di erent color next to the target vocabulary.
Remindstudentsthatbecausethisisanassessment,theyshouldcompleteitindependently in silence. Remind students that because they will be reading and answering questions independently for the assessment, they may need to practice perseverance.
Invite students to begin the assessment.
While they are taking the assessment, circulate to monitor and document their test-taking skills. Refer to Synopsis: The Lightning Thief , Chapter 9 as necessary, but do not share this handout with students to avoid compromising the integrity of the assessment.
Give students specific, positive feedback on their completion of the End of Unit 1 Assessment. Refer to Mid-Unit 1 Assessment: Analyze Language and Point of View: The Lightning Thief , Chapter 9 (examples for teacher reference) to assess.
Closing and Assessment
A. Review Point of View – RL.6.6 (5 minutes)
After 5 minutes, refocus the whole group. Focus students on the point of view questions on their assessments. Ask students to connect the learning represented on the Point of View anchor chart to the questions on the assessment. See Point of View anchor chart (example for teacher reference).
If productive, ask students to discuss which assessment task was easiest and which was the most di cult, and why. In future lessons and for homework, focus on the language skills that will help students address these assessment challenges.
Repeated routine: Invite students to reflect on their progress toward the relevant learning targets.
Homework
A. Preread
Students should preread chapter 10 of The Lightning Thief in preparation for studying an excerpt from the chapter in the next lesson.
