Grade 6: Module 1: Unit 2: Lesson 3
Opening
A. Engage the Learner – RL.6.2 (5 minutes)
Repeated routine: Follow the same routine as previous lessons to distribute and review Entrance Ticket: Unit 2, Lesson 3.
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.
Turn and Talk:
“What do you think you will be doing in this lesson based on these learning targets?” (We’ll be continuing to work on our summaries for “Theseus and the Minotaur” and reading other Greek myths.)
“Why are we doing this? How is it meaningful to you? How will it help you to be successful?” (Reading and understanding the Greek myths that are mentioned in The Lightning Thief will help us to better understand the novel and also think about the relevance of Greek mythology today.)
Work Time
A. Review Summary Writing – RL.6.2 (10 minutes)
Display the Criteria for an E ective Summary anchor chart. Ask a student to read one
characteristic aloud, and allow for any questions. Repeat for all characteristics.
Have students retrieve their Close Reading Culminating Task: “Theseus and the Minotaur” handouts from Lesson 2. Ask them to get back into their summary writing pairs and then join another pair. Each pair reads their summary aloud, while the other pair listens for each of the characteristics. The listening pair then shares one star (something that was done well) and one step (something that could be improved). Repeat for the other pair. Students then make revisions to their summaries as necessary.
See Close Reading Culminating Task: “Theseus and the Minotaur” (answers for teacher reference).
Repeated routine: Invite students to reflect on their progress toward the relevant learning targets.
