Grade 6: Module 1: Unit 3: Lesson 12
„ SL.6.5 – Work Time B: In their presentations, students include multimedia components and visual displays to clarify the content of their narratives.
„ DuringClosingandAssessmentA,studentsreflectontheguidingquestionsforthemodule. Prompt students to understand the purpose and relevance of myths and how myths convey cultural values through the heroes of the stories. Remind students about all of the learning they have completed in this module—reading a novel, analyzing informational texts, and writing both an informational essay and a narrative piece. Congratulate them on demonstrating perseverance throughout the module.
Opportunities to Extend Learning
„ Create an air of celebration around the Performance Task presentations. Invite outside audience members, such as administrators, parents, or other students.
„ Share excerpts from a podcast celebrating storytelling, such as http://eled.org/0137, to showcase the craft and impact of narrative writing.
How It Builds on Previous Work
„ Throughout this unit, students have been reimagining, researching, and rewriting a scene from The Lightning Thief in preparation for the performance task. This presentation serves as a celebration of their work in which they share their original narratives, demigod characters, and reasons for their choices.
„ Continue to use Goals 1 and 2 Conversation Cues to promote productive and equitable conversation.
Support All Students
„ Students may need additional support reading their presentations aloud and showing visuals. Support students with their presentations as needed.
„ Students who are unable to present to a larger audience could video record their presentation, and this could be played to the audience instead of being presented live.
„ Allowstudentstochoosetheorderinwhichtheywillpresent;orifthepresentationformat is in small groups, allow students to choose which group they will present to.
„ ELLsmayfindtheassessmentchallenging,despitethedaysspentpreparingandpracticing their presentations. Allow students to practice their presentations one last time before their turn.
„ Remember that students who were uncomfortable with the original premise of the rewritten narrative (with themselves as a child of a Greek god or goddess) may also be uncomfortable hearing their peers’ presentations on this topic. Be prepared with an alternative option for students in this situation, allowing them to work in a di erent location on a di erent, but related, task.
Assessment Guidance
„ Video record students’ presentations, and watch the videos with students afterward.
