Good day 6th Graders,      
     Today we will continue unit 3, Critical Analysis & Evaluation of Fictional Texts. This week we will be reading chapters 13 - 16. 
                        Thank you,
                        Mr. Trumble
Do Now: 
1. Write down your Homework
2. Take out your Homework from chapter 13 and begin collaborating about what you wrote in your notes, and about the important events that happened in the chapter

Homework:
  • Read Chapter 14
  • Complete a Note Taking Strategy of your choice
Agenda
  1. Chapter 13 House Discussion
  2. Analyzing Plot & the 60 Second Summary Challenge
  3. Read aloud Chapter 14 - Complete a Note Taking Strategy of your Choice
Activity # 1
Chapter 13 House Discussion

the 60 Second Summarizing Challenge

Standards:
SL6.1 Engage effectively in a range of collaborative discussions with diverse partners on grade 6 topics
RL6.3 Describe how a particular story, or plot unfolds in a series of episodes as well as how the character responds or changes as the plot moves toward resolution.

Directions:
Collaborate with the members of your house about the events in chapter 13. Focus on the most important events that drive the story forward, as well as the events that show Harry is a Literary Hero. You will each then draft a summary for the 60 Second Summary Challenge. You will pick a representative to compete against the other houses. 

Time:
8-10 Minutes for your House Discussion
10 Minutes for Writing your Summary

Key Questions:
  • What plot events from chapter 13 did you record in your notes? And why?
  • How do the plot events that you recorded show that Harry Potter is a literary hero?
Remember:
**This is the criteria I am looking for in your summary**

Summaries - Should have 3 parts
1. Main Idea or Topic Sentence
2. Details - should focus on only the most important details that drive the story forward
3. Reflection - finish with a reflective statement or question.

**Now that I have modeled for you how to write a summary, and that you have had a few chapters to practice this skill on your own, you will be handing in tomorrow's summary to be graded. It will count as a classwork grade, and I will score it using our standards based scale of 1 - 4.

Scoring:
1st Place = 50 Points
2nd Place = 30 Points 
3rd Place = 20 Points
4th Place = 10 Points



Activity # 2
Read aloud Chapter 14

Standards:
RL6.1 Cite textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text 
RL6.2 Determine a theme of a text and how it is conveyed through particular details; provide a summary of the text 
RL6.3 Describe how a particular story's plot unfolds in a series of episodes (Sequence of events) as well as how the characters respond or change as the plot moves toward a resolution

Directions:
Listen to chapter 14 as I read aloud. Record important plot events using a Note-taking strategy of your choice. Focus on important events that move the story forward and that you think will help you prove that Harry Potter is a literary hero. 

Essential Question:
How do the events in chapter 14 show that Harry is a literary hero?

Key Questions
  • What events from this chapter are most important to include in a summary of the chapter? Why?
  • What evidence from the text can you use to prove that Harry is a literary hero?
