        The first thing you should do today is work on the "Point to Ponder” in your ELA notebook. You may use your book to help you.  Be sure to include the date. If you finish you can reread chapter 1 of The Lightning Thief. 
                           Thank you

For Lesson 3

I can make inferences about Percy in order to understand him as the narrator of this story.

I can cite evidence from the text when answering questions and discussing Percy’s character in The Lightning Thief.

I can follow our Triad Talk Expectations when I participate in a discussion.


Read Chapter 1 Pages 1-4
What is this chapter mostly about so far? 


We will use the Carousel Brainstorm Protocol to write what you notice and what you wonder about Percy Jackson.

 (Quotes for the Carousel Brainstorm)

1.     “If you’re a normal kid, reading this because you think it’s fiction, great. Read on.”

2.     “Am I a troubled kid? Yeah. You could say that.”

3.     “But Mr. Brunner, our Latin teacher, was leading this trip, so I had hopes.”

4.     “I hoped the trip would be okay. At least, I hoped that for once I wouldn’t get in trouble.”

5.     “Grover tried to calm me down. ‘It’s okay. I like peanut butter.’ He dodged another piece of Nancy’s lunch. ‘That’s it.’ I started to get up, but Grover pulled me back to my seat. 

What inferences can you make about Percy?
