Informative/Explanatory Writing Plan graphic organizer (one per student and one to display)
Opening
A. Engage the Learner – RL.6.7 (5 minutes)
Record the following on the board for students as they arrive:
Retrieve and review your Compare and Contrast Film and Text: The Lightning Thief note-catcher. Put a star next to one of your observations about a similarity or di erence, and be ready to share it with the whole group during our discussion later in the lesson.
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.
With students, use the vocabulary strategies on the Close Readers Do These Things anchor chart to deconstruct the word introduction (the paragraph that opens a piece of writing and helps the reader understand what the writing will be about). Record on the domain-specific word wall with translations in home languages, where appropriate, and invite students to record in their vocabulary logs.
Using a total participation technique, invite responses from the group:
“What is an introduction? What is the purpose of it?” With student support, record the meaning of introduction (the beginning or opening to an essay or book) on the domain- specific word wall with translations in students’ home languages. Write synonyms, or sketch a visual above each key term to sca old students’ understanding.
Focus students on the Work to Become E ective Learners anchor chart, and invite them to read the habits of character on the chart to themselves. Tell students to choose a habit to focus on as they begin drafting today.
Work Time
A. Compare and Contrast Text and Film Scene – RL.6.7 (5 minutes)
Ask students to retrieve their Compare and Contrast Film and Text: The Lightning Thief note-catchers and their copies of The Lightning Thief.
Inform students that they will continue the work done in the previous lesson, finding the similarities and di erences between how chapter 16 is presented in the book and the film.
