Closing and Assessment
A. Reflect on Habits of Character (5 minutes)
Focus students on the Work to Become E ective Learners anchor chart. Explain that
it says at the top that e ective learners are people who develop the mindsets and skills for success in college, career, and life.
Read aloud the habit of character recorded:
“I take initiative. This means I notice what needs to be done and do it.”
Invite students to Turn and Talk to a partner. Then cold call students to share:
“What does initiative look like? What might you see when someone is showing initiative?” (See Work to Become E ective Learners anchor chart [example for teacher reference].)
“What does initiative sound like? What might you hear when someone is showing initiative?” (See Work to Become E ective Learners anchor chart [example for teacher reference].)
As students share, record their responses in the appropriate column on the Work to Become E ective Learners anchor chart.
Ask:
“How did you show initiative during today’s lesson?” (Possible response: While working in groups on the Compare and Contrast Themes: Greek Myths and The Lightning Thief note-catcher, I showed initiative by staying on task and getting the work done.)
Record initiative on the academic word wall. Invite students to add translations of the words in their home languages in a di erent color next to the target vocabulary.
