Grade 6: Module 1: Unit 3: Lesson 3
Work Time
A. Research a Greek God – RI.6.7 (30 minutes)
Ask students to retrieve the Model Performance Task Slideshow printout with the
notes they took during Lesson 1.
Distribute and display Greek God Research note-catcher.
Read the directions aloud, and field questions as needed.
Direct students to begin researching and completing their Greek God Research note- catcher. Circulate as students work to support and troubleshoot. If students need additional support, feel free to share the Greek God Research note-catcher (example for teacher reference) as appropriate. Remind students to review the Model Performance Task Slideshow printout and their notes to help focus their research. Be mindful of students who may be researching someone other than a Greek god due to family concerns.
To streamline the research process in classrooms where computers are available, link to suggested websites using bookmarks on the homepage of students’ computers. That way, slow typers and struggling readers do not waste time reaching the needed websites.
Repeated routine: Invite students to reflect on their progress toward the relevant learning targets.
Closing and Assessment
A. Pair Share – W.6.5 (10 minutes)
Instruct students to find a nearby partner with whom to share their Greek God Research note-catcher. Remind them to check the Work to Become Ethical People anchor chart before they share, focusing on respect and compassion.
As students share their findings, encourage them to give their partner one star and one step to improve their research. If students struggle to understand their partners’ research or to generate ideas to improve them, allow them to write questions or simply highlight/ circle strong words or ideas.
Homework
A. Independent Research Reading
Students read for at least 20 minutes in their independent research reading text. Then they select a prompt and write a response in their independent reading journal.
