Work Time
B. Prepare for a Text-Based Discussion – RL.6.3 (25 minutes)
Distribute and display the Prepare for Text-Based Discussion: The Lightning Thief
, Chapters 1–12 note-catcher or Prepare for Text-Based Discussion: The Lightning Thief , Chapters 1–12 note-catcher .
Read, reread, and rephrase the prompt at the top of the note-catcher aloud for the group: “How does Percy respond to challenges? What can we infer about his character?”
Tell students that in this lesson, they gather evidence from The Lightning Thief in preparation for discussing this prompt as part of the End of Unit 1 Assessment. Ask them to retrieve their copies of The Lightning Thief, their gist statements, and their vocabulary logs.
If productive, invite students to reflect on the text-based discussion question and ask clarifying questions before digging into the text for evidence.
Tell students they have the option of working alone or with a partner to complete their note-catchers. Emphasize that as this contains a personal response, students may wish to do this alone, but invite those who want to work with someone to move to a certain area of the room to pair up with someone else who wants to work with a partner. Invite students to verbally “complete” the note-catcher in home language groupings. They can then focus on writing notes in their home language or English, or making sketches as placeholders, and finally discussing in English.
Direct students’ attention to the Work to Become Ethical People anchor chart. Focus students on empathy and respect, and remind them to attend to these habits of character as they work in their groups. Invite students to begin working.
Circulate to support students in completing their Prepare for Text-Based Discussion: The Lightning Thief, Chapters 1–12 note-catcher. Refer to Prepare for Text-Based Discussion: The Lightning Thief , Chapters 1–12 note-catcher (example for teacher reference) as needed.
Repeated routine: Invite students to reflect on their progress toward the relevant learning targets.
