Day #22 - 10/2/14 - Unit 1 Lesson 11 Part I

Good Morning Students,
            I hope you all had a wonderful evening. Today is a B day so we will go to gym. Please make sure you have all the materials you will need for block 1. Remember to bring in your independent reading book. Let's make this a respectful and responsible day.
                            Thank you,
                            Mrs. Sargent & Mr. T
P2P:
Listen to the song, "Walk a mile," and read through the lyrics. What does this song mean to you? Explain your thinking.

For Lesson 11 - Part I

 
 

• I can get the gist of an excerpt from The Lightning Thief.
• I can answer questions using evidence about an excerpt from The Lightning Thief. 
• I can select evidence from both The Lightning Thief and “The Hero’s Journey” that shows how Percy is on a hero’s journey.

Based on today’s Learning Targets, what do you think we will be doing in today’s lesson?

If we are going to be selecting evidence, we must be reading closely. What are some things Close Readers do?


Remember that:
Archetype = a model which other things are copied or repeated, kind of like a pattern. A character or storyline that repeats again and again over time.

Follow along while I read from page 78 - 82.

How is the meaning of archetype that we learned connected to this idea of the minotaur as an archetype?

Activity 1

Purpose:

Check to see how well we can make connections and describe the relationship between two texts.

When you think of “The Hero’s Journey” and The Lightning Thief, how do you think these 2 texts are related?

 

Activity 2

Directions: Whole Group Work
1. Every student needs 3-4 evidence flags.
2. We will be close reading pages 78 - 82.
