W.6.3 – Closing and Assessment A: Students reflect on their learning using the Track Progress: Narrative Writing recording form. This exercise is meant to provide them with time to formally keep track of and reflect on their own learning. This self-reflection supports metacognition and pride in work and learning.
Opportunities to Extend Learning
Some students may not require the level of sca olding provided in this unit. Prompt students toward deeper levels of understanding and increased rigor by referencing Levels 3 and 4 of Webb’s Depth of Knowledge.
Guide students in an informal discussion of when the skills of rewriting a text or writing narrative texts might be important in a “real-world” setting. Prompt students with suggestions like writing the script for a commercial, a blog post for a celebrity, or a movie treatment.
How It Builds on Previous Work
In the second half of this unit, students have been reimagining a scene from The Lightning Thief and rewriting it to incorporate a new character. Students have completed research on a di erent Greek god or goddess and developing a character who is the child of that god. Using their research and a checklist of narrative writing characteristics, students have been planning their original narrative scene. This lesson continues those routines in an assessment.
Support All Students
If students receive accommodations for assessments, communicate with the cooperating service providers regarding the practices of instruction in use during this study as well as the goals of the assessment.

Support ELLs in the end of unit assessment by reminding them of the related tasks they have already successfully completed. Make sure that Mid-Unit Assessment instructions are expressed very clearly; ask students to paraphrase the instructions as a way to gauge understanding, and/or provide ELLs with simpler or varied input.
