Inform students that they will use the notes they generated on the Compare and Contrast Film and Text: The Lightning Thief note-catcher as they begin planning their own essays in response to the prompt: How does the experience of reading chapter 16 in The Lightning Thief compare to watching the same scene in the film?
Explain that in this lesson, they are only planning the introductions in their graphic organizer and will actually draft the essays for Part II during their end of unit assessment in Lessons 12 and 13.
Ask students to retrieve their annotated copies of the Compare and Contrast Model Essay, and remind them that this essay was written to the same prompt to which they will write their essays, but the model essay referenced events from chapter 11 instead.
