Grade 6: Module 1: Unit 1: Lesson 3
Think-Pair-Share:
“What is the gist? What is this chapter mostly about?” Refer to the Gist Record: The Lightning Thief anchor chart (example for teacher reference) for guidance. (Responses will vary, but may include: Percy hears Mr. Brunner and Grover talking about him in secret; Percy is expelled from Yancy Academy; Percy sees three old ladies snip a cord of yarn.)
Invite a student to paraphrase the key points in more comprehensible language for those who need heavier support.
Model recording gist (key words, not full sentences) on a sticky note, and invite students to do the same, sticking them at the front of the chapter for quick reference.
Use the Synopsis: The Lightning Thief , Chapter 2 as needed to review and note key details for the entire chapter.
Give students 1 minute to silently reflect on the text. Encourage them to consider how the chapter made them feel. They can write or sketch, or just sit and think.
Direct students’ attention to the Work to Become Ethical People anchor chart, and review respect, compassion, and empathy as needed before inviting students to share their reflections if they choose.

of the lesson:
“I can explain Percy’s point of view toward Mr. Brunner in chapter 1 of The Lightning Thief.”
Turn and Talk:
“What do you already know about the term point of view?” (Student responses will vary, but may include what was discussed and posted on the word wall during Opening A: the narrator’s position in relation to the story being told. It shows the opinions 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.)

Allow students to share any previous knowledge or familiarity with point of view. Update correct definitions or examples on the anchor chart. Use misconceptions to guide further instruction.
See Point of View anchor chart (example for teacher reference).
Invite students to turn to page 2 and to read along silently. Read aloud the excerpt beginning at, “But Mr. Brunner, our Latin teacher, was leading this trip, so I had hopes” and ending at “. . . I wouldn’t get in trouble.”
