People anchor chart.
Excerpt: Read from page 340 (“The gods weren’t moving . . .”) to page 346 (“. . . some kind
of hero”).
Gist: Percy goes to Mount Olympus, returns the bolt, and meets his dad. Percy reunites with his mom, o ers to help her with Gabe, and returns to Camp Half-Blood.
Repeated routine: Invite students to reflect on their progress toward the relevant learning targets.
Work Time
B. Plan Character – W.6.3 (15 minutes)
Review the learning targets relevant to the work to be completed in this section of the lesson:
“I can create a character profile for my new character.”
“I can choose an appropriate action scene for my character to join in The Lightning Thief.”
Display and distribute the Narrative Writing Plan graphic organizer.
Read the prompt aloud.
Using a total participation technique, invite responses from the group:
“What is this assignment asking you to do?” (create a new character and rewrite a scene from The Lightning Thief that includes that new character and that is told from that character’s point of view)
Invite students to retrieve their Narrative Writing checklist and the Model Narrative, and remind them that they have been analyzing this text as a model of e ective narratives. Remind students that today they will start planning their own characters and will choose the scene from the novel, using the Narrative Writing Plan graphic organizer. They will continue to plan for the next two lessons and then write their narrative during Lesson 9.
