Grade 6: Module 1: Unit 2: Lesson 1
Ask students to hold up the number of fingers on one hand to match the word they think doesn’t fit. Call on a few students to share their reasoning for their choice.
Direct students to add the prefix in- to their vocabulary logs as well as the four words from the warm-up question containing the prefix.
Repeated routine: Follow the same routine as the previous lessons to review learning targets and the purpose of the lesson, reminding students of any learning targets that are similar or the same as previous lessons.
With students, use the vocabulary strategies on the Close Readers Do These Things anchor chart to deconstruct the word summary (a short statement of main points). Record on the academic word wall with translations in home languages, where appropriate, and invite students to record words in their vocabulary logs. If needed, post definitions, synonyms, examples, and/or visual representations of the word summary.
Turn and Talk:
“What do you think you will be doing in this lesson based on these learning targets?” (Reading from the next chapter in The Lightning Thief and determining what messages or lessons are conveyed through the text. We will also begin looking at the characteristics of summary writing.)
“Why are we doing this? How is it meaningful to you? How will it help you to be successful?” (Discussing theme o ers the reader life lessons that he or she may find meaningful. Also, models provide guidance for students to create their best work.)
Work Time

Repeated routine: Read aloud the selected excerpt, using Text Guide: The Lightning Thief for comprehension and vocabulary questions as needed.

Refer to the following resources as appropriate to support this section of the lesson: Gist Record: The Lightning Thief anchor chart (example for teacher reference), vocabulary logs, chapter synopsis, and Work to Become Ethical
People anchor chart.
