Opening
A. Engage the Learner – L.6.4 (5 minutes)
Repeated routine: Follow the same routine as previous lessons to distribute and review Entrance Ticket: Unit 2, Lesson 7. Students will also need a dictionary.
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.
Remind students they have seen this learning target before; it is the essay prompt they are going to be working on in the next half of the unit.
Turn and Talk:
“What do you think you will be doing in this lesson based on these learning targets?” (Reading the next chapter of The Lightning Thief and then watching a scene from the film to compare it to the novel.)
“Why are we doing this? How is it meaningful to you? How will it help you to be successful?” (This will give us practice in viewing the same ideas from various perspectives and thinking critically about why people approach the same content in di erent ways.)
Work Time
A. Read The Lightning Thief, Chapter 16 Excerpt – RL.6.1 (20 minutes)
Repeated Routine: Read aloud the selected excerpt, using Text Guide: The Lightning Thief for comprehension and vocabulary questions as needed. Students continue to record the gist on sticky notes, unpack and record unfamiliar vocabulary, and reflect on their reading as they choose. Refer to the following resources as appropriate to support this section of the lesson: Gist Record: The Lightning Thief anchor chart (example for teacher reference), vocabulary logs, chapter synopsis, and Work to Become Ethical
People anchor chart.
Excerpt: starting at page 257 “We must have taken a wrong turn . . .” and ending at the end
of the chapter on page 265 “One day to complete our quest.”
Gist: Percy learns the full story of Thalia’s death while traveling in a truck with abused animals. The trio ends up trapped in the Lotus Casino in Las Vegas, where time moves slowly. They lose five days of their trip there.
Repeated routine: Invite students to reflect on their progress toward the relevant learning targets.
