Grade 6: Module 1: Unit 2: Lesson 3
Consider diversity and inclusion when reading Greek stories. 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 stories.
Assessment Guidance
Circulate and monitor as students share their summaries and provide peer feedback. Ensure that feedback is kind, helpful, and accurate. Remind students that they do not have to make the corrections their peers suggest if they disagree, but ensure that they justify their reasoning for not accepting certain feedback.
Review the Close Reading Jigsaw: Greek Myths note-catcher to ensure students understand how to identify theme. It is vital that, at this point, students are understanding how to identify themes in texts, as they will begin to build on this skill in the next lesson by comparing themes across texts.
Down the Road
In the next lesson, students will return to the anchor text, reading from chapter 15 of The Lightning Thief. Using their new understanding of the Greek figures referenced in the text, students will compare themes across texts.
In Advance
Prepare for the Jigsaw Protocol:
– Review the questions and answers for both myths in the Jigsaw protocol.
– Thoroughly review the Jigsaw protocol to ensure clear directions and smooth transitions.
– Strategically group students into home groups of four, and then assign each student in the home group a letter—A, B, C, or D. The lettered groups will be the expert groups during the jigsaw, with two expert groups reading each of two Greek myths.
Review the student tasks and example answers to get familiar with what students will be required to do in the lesson (see Materials list).
Prepare copies of handouts for students, including entrance ticket (see Materials list).
Post the learning targets and applicable anchor charts (see Materials list).
