“I can determine a theme and how it is conveyed through details in chapter 13 of The Lightning Thief.”
Distribute and display Text-Dependent Questions: The Lightning Thief , Chapter 13 or Text-Dependent Questions: The Lightning Thief , Chapter 13 .
Students work with their reading groups to complete the text-dependent questions. Let them know they should be prepared to share their responses. As students work, continue to circulate and support them as needed, pushing them back into the text for evidence to support their responses.
Refocus the whole group.
Briefly go through each text-dependent question, and cold call students to share their responses with the whole group. Refer to the Text-Dependent Questions: The Lightning Thief , Chapter 13 (answers for teacher reference) as necessary.
If productive, use a Goal 1 Conversation Cue to encourage students to expand their responses to the text-dependent questions by giving examples:
“Can you say more about that?”
“Can you give an example?”
Repeated routine: Invite students to reflect on their progress toward the relevant learning targets.
