Grade 6: Module 1: Unit 3: Lesson 2
How It Builds on Previous Work
In the previous lesson, students revisited the expectations for the performance task, for which they will now reimagine a scene from The Lightning Thief. The new scene will include an original character, the child of a Greek god or goddess that they will research. In this lesson, students gain more practice learning about a Greek figure as they read “Hestia” and summarize the key details as they will do during their independent research.
Support All Students
Note there is a di erentiated version of the Close Read: “Hestia” note-catcher used in Work Time A in the separate Teacher's Guide for English Language Learners.
Studentsmayneedadditionalsupportwithrecordingtheiranswersontheirnote-catchers. Group those students for more support when necessary.
Assessment Guidance
Review students’ culminating task recording form to ensure students understand how to determine a central idea of the text and identify how it is conveyed in the text. Students will use this information to write a summary.
After the lesson, review students’ Language Dive: “Hestia,” Paragraph 1 note-catcher from Work Time B to ensure students understand the central idea of the “Hestia” text. Also, check note-catchers for any linguistic errors that can be addressed in future feedback.
Down the Road
In the next lesson, students will conduct research to find out more about a Greek god (or figure from a traditional story) on which to base their new character.
