Grade 6: Module 1: Unit 1: Lesson 4
Refer to the second column on the anchor chart. Turn and Talk:
“What was Percy’s point of view toward Mr. Brunner at this point in the novel?” (Percy likes Mr. Brunner as a person and a teacher and seems to admire him. He thinks that Mr. Brunner is “cool” because he tells stories and jokes and allows students to play games in class. Percy also thinks he’s a good teacher, as he says that Mr. Brunner is “the only teacher whose class didn’t put me to sleep.”)
Focus students on the question in the final column, and invite them to read it aloud chorally:
“Development: How and why has Percy’s point of view changed? How does the author develop the point of view?”
Think-Pair-Share:
“How do you know Percy’s point of view? How has the author conveyed this point of view? What is happening in this excerpt–thoughts, actions, speaking?” (through Percy’s thoughts)
“Which words and phrases help you to understand Percy’s point of view of Mr. Brunner in this excerpt?” (Student responses will vary, but may include: “cool,” “told stories and jokes,” “awesome,” “didn’t put me to sleep.”)
Record student ideas in the Development column on the Point of View anchor chart. See Point of View anchor chart (example for teacher reference).
Invite students to turn to page 21 and read along as the excerpt is read aloud, beginning at, “The next afternoon . . .,” and ending at, “But I was already gone.”
Display and distribute the QuickWrite: Point of View: The Lightning Thief , Chapter 2, and invite students to read the directions and prompt aloud chorally:
“From reading this excerpt, what is Percy’s point of view toward Mr. Brunner now?”
Using the directions on the student handout, ensure students understand the parameters of a QuickWrite. Invite them to begin writing.
Circulate to monitor and guide students. Pay attention to common misconceptions, and take note of a student who has composed an exemplary reponse.
See QuickWrite: Point of View: The Lightning Thief , Chapter 2 (example for teacher reference).
After 5 minutes, invite students to share out their ideas with the whole group. Listen for students to explain that Percy thinks Mr. Brunner is a hypocrite because, after telling him all year that he believes in him, he is now saying that he was destined to get kicked out. He is also disappointed with Mr. Brunner for saying Percy isn’t normal. Percy feels Mr. Brunner has let him down because he was Percy’s favorite teacher, yet now he is treating Percy poorly.
If productive, use Goal 1 Conversation Cues to encourage students to clarify their ideas. “So, do you mean _____?”
