A. Engage the Learner – RL.6.4 (5 minutes)
„ Repeated routine: Follow the same routine as previous lessons to distribute and review Entrance Ticket: Unit 3, Lesson 1.
„ 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.
„ Invite students to paraphrase the word criteria using familiar synonyms or simple definitions.
„ Turn and Talk:
“What is the purpose of having criteria for something?” (We use criteria to figure out if
something is of quality.)
“Why would we create criteria for a presentation?” (Since we are going to create our own presentations, we need to know how to write a quality slideshow. By creating criteria, we will know what to include in our own presentations.)
„ Remind students that during this unit, they complete the performance task, which is a presentation in which they’ll share their research and their narratives that they’ll work on during this unit. Explain that during this lesson, they’ll see an example of a slideshow and unpack the criteria for an e ective presentation. Then in Lessons 2 and 3, they’ll work on research. Starting in Lesson 5, they’ll work on their narratives, in which they will use their research to create a new character and rewrite a scene from The Lightning Thief from that character’s point of view, and they will return to the presentation creation in Lesson 10.
„ Tell students that before they begin analyzing a model presentation for its e ectiveness, they’ll first read another chapter of the novel.
