“Why would we identify characteristics of an e ective narrative?” (Since we are going to write our own narratives, we need to know how to write a quality narrative. By identifying characteristics, we will know what to include in our narrative.)
Tell students that before they begin planning their narratives, they will look at a model of a narrative that reimagines the scene from pages 206–211 that they just reread and think about the characteristics of it, but first they’re going to read from another chapter of the novel.
Work Time
A. Read The Lightning Thief, Chapter 20 Excerpt – Rl.6.1 (20 minutes)
Repeated routine: Read aloud the selected excerpt, using Text Guide: The Lightning Thief for comprehension and vocabulary questions as needed. Students continue to record the gist on sticky notes, unpack and record unfamiliar vocabulary, and reflect on their reading as they choose. Refer to the following resources as appropriate to support this section of the lesson: Gist Record: The Lightning Thief anchor chart (example for teacher reference), vocabulary logs, chapter synopsis, and Work to Become Ethical
People anchor chart.
Excerpt: Start on page 321 (“It was a trick, I said . . .”), and read up to page 332 (“. . . smoke-
filled sky, and disappeared”).
Gist: Back in LA, Ares admits that the shoes and backpack were enchanted. Percy was supposed to die to enrage Poseidon. Hades would be found with the bolt, angering Zeus. Percy fights Ares; the Furies watch and realize Percy really isn’t the thief. The trio heads back to Mount Olympus to determine the true thief and stop the war.
Repeated routine: Invite students to reflect on their progress toward the relevant learning targets.
Work Time
B. Analyze a Model – W.6.3 (15 minutes)
Reviewthelearningtargetrelevanttotheworktobecompletedinthissectionofthelesson: “I can analyze a model to identify characteristics of an e ective narrative.”
Distribute the Model Narrative or Model Narrative to each student. Remind students that they will analyze this model to help them write their own narrative that reimagines a scene from The Lightning Thief from the perspective of a new demigod character that they create for the end of unit assessment. Students will read the model narrative to determine the gist of the story and to identify characteristics of an e ective narrative.
After reading the model narrative, use a total participation technique to invite responses from the group:
