Describe how our PROTAGONIST, Percy Jackson, responds or changes as
the plot moves along in Ch. 6 pgs. 96-97? What are our conflicts? Are they being resolved?
Opening: Today I am going to teach you how to use a reading strategy – Comparing & Contrasting to describe how a character changes and responds to a problem as the plot moves along.
Work Session:
We will read aloud the story The Born Worker by Gary Soto.
- Using the [Venn Diagram] anchor chart:
- We will trace [write down] how our two main characters are alike.
- How do the characters' different traits and motivations create the conflict in the story?
- What are the needs and motivations of the characters?
- Words to know: Character motivation, Character traits, retort, pumice, stagnant
Independent Practice:
- Read Ch. 7 of The Lightning Thief
- Compare and contrast Percy Jackson and Clarisse. How are they alike? Different? [Create a Venn Diagram Anchor Chart]
EXIT TICKET:
Analyze Ch. 7 - Describe how our PROTAGONIST, Percy Jackson, responds or changes as the plot moves along in this scene? What are our conflicts? Are they being resolved?
- Using details from our Anchor Charts: Venn Diagram
Explain why Percy responded the way he did. Connect his character traits to his motivations.
