Grade 6: Module 1: Unit 1: Lesson 3
QuickWrite: Point of View: The Lightning Thief, Chapter 1 (one per student; one for display)
Homework: Unfamiliar Vocabulary: The Lightning Thief, Chapter 2 (from Unit 1 homework; one per student)
Opening
A. Engage the Learner – L.6.4 (5 minutes)
As students enter the classroom, distribute Entrance Ticket: Unit 1, Lesson 3 or optional
Entrance Ticket: Unit 1, Lesson 3 , and allow time for students to record their responses.
Turn and Talk:
“Which word best defines the word vaporized in the excerpt given from chapter 1 of The
Lightning Thief?” (destroyed)
“What strategy did you use to determine your answer?” (Responses will vary, but may include: using context clues, drawing on prior knowledge, replacing each option into the sentence.)
Direct students’ attention to the posted learning targets, and select a volunteer to read them aloud:
“I can identify strategies to answer selected response questions.” “I can find the gist of chapter 2 of The Lightning Thief.”
“I can explain Percy’s point of view toward Mr. Brunner in chapter 1 of The Lightning Thief.”
Present the Learning Targets in writing, orally, and accompanied by symbols, and then check for understanding by giving students time both to write or sketch and to orally paraphrase these targets.
Focus students on the word strategies and the phrase point of view. Use total participation techniques to select students to share what they think they mean, and, if they don’t know the meaning, share the strategies they could use to determine the meaning (context, a xes and roots, dictionary).
If productive, use a Goal 1 Conversation Cue to encourage students to expand their ideas about the phrase point of view by giving examples.
“Can you give an example?”
With student support, record the meanings of the word and phrase on the academic word wall with translations in students’ home languages (strategies – a plan of action or policy designed to achieve a major or overall aim; point of view – In narrative texts, the narrator’s position in relation to the story being told. It shows the opinion or feelings of the characters involved in a situation. Point of view is the way the author allows the reader to “hear” and “see” what is happening.). Write synonyms or sketch a visual above each key term to sca old students’ understanding.
Invite students to record these words in their vocabulary logs.
