  3. Unpacking the Learning Targets Learning Targets Think Pair Share What do you remember about the word inference or what does it mean to infer? • I can make inferences about Percy using evidence from the text. • I can use context clues to determine the meaning of unfamiliar words in Chapters 1 & 2 of TheLightening Thief. • I can cite evidence from the text when answering questions and discussing Percy’s character in TheLightening Thief. • I can follow our Triad Talk expectations when I participate in a discussion.

  4. Making Inferences about Characters,Revisiting Chapter 1 • Authors use many methods to learn about characters: direct and indirect • One of the best ways to make inferences about a character is to see how they respond to challenges they face. • Read Aloud: Turn to page 3

  5. Think-Pair-Share What is the challenge Percy is facing in this scene? How does he respond to that challenge?

  6. Close Read of of Pages 16-18: Percy Gets Expelled • Get into Triads • Reading closely means reading a text multiple times for understanding, important details, and to answer questions from the text. • Read aloud: pg 16 “The freak weather…” • With your Triads discuss what the “gist” of this section of the text is.

  7. Inferring About Character:Challenges and Response in Chapter 2 • Using the passage that you just reread and discussed with your Triad, zoom in and look for important details in the text that show the challenges Percy is facing and how he responds to those challenges.

  8. Inferring About Character:Challenges and Response in Chapter 2

  9. Think-Pair-Share: Vocabulary • Pg 17 quote: “I started feeling cranky and irritable most of the time.” • Use context clues to help define the word “irritable.” In your Triads, discuss which word in that sentence helps you to define irritable. • Another way: find the root word and the suffix • Irrate and able: able to be irritated • Pg 19 “’But he may not have time. The summer soltice deadline---’” • Pg 20 “ Somewhere in the hallway, Mr. Bunner spoke. ‘Nothing,’ he murmured. ‘My nerves haven’t been right since the winter solstice.’”

  10. Making Inferences • In your Triads complete the third column, “I can infer…” • Use Triad Talk expectations

  11. Homework • Do a “first draft” read of Chapter 3 • Purpose: What does Percy think about in this chapter? What do we learn about him based on these thoughts? • Use evidence flags to mark specific passages in the text to discuss with your triad. Use them to keep track of your thinking,

  12. Closing • Exit Ticket: How has the author, Rick Riordan, helped us to get to know Percy so far in TheLightening Thief? • Use evidence from the text to support your thinking,
