Day #21 - 10/1/14 - Unit 1 Lesson 10 Partner Writing

Good  Morning,

     Today is an A Day so we will go to music. Be sure you have EVERYTHING you need for block 1. You will not be allowed to go back to your locker for any reason. If you forget something you will be marked as unprepared. I hope this doesn't happen to anyone. Let's make this a wonderful Wednesday.

                       Thank you

                       Mrs. Sargent & Mr. T

P2P:

What is your favorite thing about school. Explain why. Use details and be specific.

Activity # 3: Partner Writing

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?
