In this assessment, the students will be asked to review a section that they have already read and write answers to questions that read and think deeper about what the author is trying to tell the reader about the character of Percy Jackson. This is called inference.
Today in class the students had an activity where they worked in groups to answer questions that are very similar to the ones that will be on the assessment tomorrow.
It is very important that the students answer the questions on the assessment in complete sentences. This shows that the student has read the question, and that the student has some knowledge of the story, as well as having made deeper inferences about the character.
Some of the students did not take this activity seriously, and refused to work towards understanding how to answer these types of questions.
I will provide the questions and the sentence starters so that you can work with your students at home.
1. What is an example of a challenge Percy faces in pages 38 - 40? How does he respond?
An example of a challenge that Percy faces in pages 38 - 40 is ________________. Percy responds to this challenge by _______________________________.
