Grade 6: Module 1: Unit 2: Lesson 14
Think about strategic grouping during the peer critique. Mixed-proficiency groups may still be helpful. Alternative options are having students interact (1) in home language groups if the task is particularly challenging or (2) in homogeneous proficiency groups to promote English language development through grappling.
Assessment Guidance
Review students’ Language Dive: Compare and Contrast Model Essay, Appropriate Transitions note-catcher from Work Time A to ensure students understand how to connect one point to another in a smooth, coherent way using precise words, phrases, or sentences.
Down the Road
This next lesson commences the final unit in Module 1. In Unit 3, students practice narrative writing by rewriting a scene from The Lightning Thief, adding a new character to the action. Incorporating research on another Greek god or goddess and narrative techniques, students develop a new demigod character to join the main characters of The Lightning Thief in a specific scene from the novel.
Students will also share their progress on their Independent Research Reading task. Refer to the Independent Reading: Sample Plans to guide students through a research reading share, or use your own routine.
