Read, set, write! Scholars participate in the first fully independent writing task of the unit as they write about how Percy’s experience in The Lightning Thief aligns with The Hero’s Journey. To begin their writing, they complete a graphic organizer selecting evidence from each text. After finishing their writing, they work with partners to give and receive peer feedback.
