Teaching Notes
Alignment to Assessment Standards and Purpose of Lesson
W.6.2a – Opening A: Students refine the focus statements of their introductions in preparation to write their conclusions.
W.6.2f – Work Time A: Students engage in a Language Dive, which facilitates a closer look at a key sentence in the conclusion of the model essay. This Language Dive will give students the opportunity to practice a structure that may be useful as they write the conclusions of their own essays.
RL.6.1 – Work Time B: Students return to their compare and contrast essays to plan the conclusion, using evidence from The Lightning Thief to support their ideas. On the end of unit assessment, students apply what they have learned to provide a concluding section that follows from the comparison presented.
RL.6.7 – Work Time B: Students plan the concluding paragraphs of their essays, in which they compare and contrast the experience of reading a scene in a story with the experience of watching the same scene in a film.
W.6.2f – Work Time B: Students plan a conclusion that follows from the information presented in their proof paragraphs.
W.6.4 – Work Time B: Using the Compare and Contrast Model Essay as guidance, students plan a clear and coherent conclusion paragraph, with attention to task, purpose, and audience.
W.6.5 – Work Time B: Students receive some support as they strengthen their writing by thoughtfully planning the concluding paragraphs of their essays.
W.6.9a – Work Time B: Students apply Grade 6 Reading standards to literature by comparing and contrasting a video clip and its corresponding scene in the text.
RL.6.7 – Closing and Assessment A: Students share their plans with a partner and give and receive feedback on the connections drawn across the text and film.
In this lesson, students focus on working to become e ective learners, showing perseverance as they write independently.
Opportunities to Extend Learning
Gather a number of new texts with e ective conclusions. Invite students to analyze these conclusions written by professionals to gather more criteria for an e ective conclusion.
How It Builds on Previous Work
In the second half of this unit, students have been analyzing a model and using their analysis to plan a compare and contrast essay. This lesson continues those routines to finish planning the essay’s conclusion and reflective statement.
Support All Students
Some students may need additional support as they plan the conclusions of their essays. This lesson includes a Language Dive, which will focus students’ attention to the most important elements of an e ective reflection sentence within a conclusion. Language Dives help create more confident readers and writers, and further accelerate language growth for ELLs.
