Greek Mythology
Be mindful of di erences in experience with source attributions during summary writing. Make sure that students are aware that ideas can be borrowed from the original text, but that they must use their own words to explain ideas when they write, and they must place quotation marks around the quotes they borrow and explain where they came from.
Consider diversity and inclusion when reading and discussing Greek myths. Ask about, research, acknowledge, celebrate, and incorporate student knowledge, languages, beliefs, and skills; compare and contrast students' cultures and background to those introduced in Greek myths.
Assessment Guidance
Review students’ Close Read: Culminating Task Recording Form: “Theseus and the Minotaur” to ensure students understand how to identify theme and an e ective summary.
Down the Road
In the next lesson, students will read more stories of Greek figures, specifically those referenced in the anchor text. Using a Jigsaw protocol, students will apply the close reading skills they practice in this lesson to the text they analyze in a smaller group setting. They will also write a summary using the skills they have practiced in the first two lessons of the unit.
In Advance
Review the student tasks and example answers to get familiar with what students will be required to do in the lesson (see Materials list).
Record the following on the board for students as they arrive:
– Review or complete your summary homework answers with a partner, revising as
necessary. Be ready to share with the large group.
Preview the Close Reading Guide: “Theseus and the Minotaur” and Close Reading Culminating Task: “Theseus and the Minotaur” to get familiar with what will be required of students.
Preread chapter 14 in The Lightning Thief to identify words or plot points that may challenge students.
Prepare copies of handouts for students (see Materials list).
Post the learning targets and applicable anchor charts (see Materials list).
Technology & Multimedia
Work Time B: Use a search engine to gather several visuals to enhance reading of the “Theseus and the Minotaur” myth. Many images of figures from Greek mythology are not school-appropriate; preview images first before displaying them to the class.
Closing and Assessment A: Allow students to collaborate on their summary with a partner using a web-based word-processing tool, such as Google Docs.
