Repeated routine: Invite students to reflect on their progress toward the relevant learning targets.
Work Time
C. Language Dive: The Lightning Thief, Page 356 – W.6.3 (15 minutes)
Tell students they will now participate in a Language Dive to examine a sentence from chapter 22 of The Lightning Thief. In this sentence, a character (Grover) is introduced to a scene in which two other characters (Annabeth and Percy) are doing something di erent. The structure of the sentence provides a good model for moving action along and adding
characters to a scene.
Focus students on the sentence:
“As Annabeth and I were spreading a picnic blanket, Grover showed up to tell us good-bye.”
Use the Language Dive Guide: The Lightning Thief , Page 356 (for teacher reference) to guide students through a Language Dive conversation about the sentence. Distribute and display the Language Dive: The Lightning Thief , Page 356 note-catcher, and the Language Dive: The Lightning Thief , Page 356 sentence strip chunks.
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)
Explain that, in a moment, students will be sharing their Narrative Writing Plan graphic organizers with a partner.
Focus students on the Work to Contribute to a Better World anchor chart. Explain, as it says at the top of the anchor chart, that they can use their learning to improve their communities.
Read aloud the habit of character recorded: “I use my strengths to help others grow.”
Invite students to Turn and Talk to their partner:
“Using the anchor chart as a guide, what does this mean in your own words?” (helping
someone with something I can do well; providing kind, helpful, specific peer feedback)
As students share out, capture their responses in the appropriate column on the Work to Contribute to a Better World anchor chart. Refer to Work to Contribute to a Better World anchor chart (example for teacher reference) as necessary.
Direct students to keep this habit of character in mind as they engage in their final Pair Share before the assessment.
