“What does compelling mean?” Learning Target I can compare and contrast the conclusions of an analytical piece of writing and a narrative. I can analyze the conclusion of “The Golden Key,” to identify the qualities that make it compelling. I can write a compelling conclusion for my hero’s journey narrative. “What is a conclusion?” “What does compelling mean?” RL6.5, W.6.3

Compare and Contrast the Conclusions of an Analytical Piece of Writing and a Narrative • To help you write a compelling conclusion for you hero’s journey, in this lesson you will: • Think about how a conclusion in a narrative differs from a conclusion in a piece of analytical writing • Look at the qualities that make a conclusion in a narrative compelling • The informational conclusion you will use is the Model Literary Analysis: Connecting Theme in Prometheus and The Lightning Thief (p. 112), and the narrative conclusion is the Model Narrative: “The Golden Key” (p. 132).

Venn Diagram: Similarities and Differences between Conclusions in Analytical Writing and Narratives. Text Analytical Writing - Use transitions and transitional phrases to show shifts in time - Use descriptive details to show, not tell. These include dialogue, sensory language, and strong verbs. - Conclude with a scene from the narrative that follows logically from the scene that came before it - Conclude with something that leaves the reader thinking but does not call the reader to action - Gives the author’s point of view and purpose. Explains why myths are important. Have a conclusion with a formal tone and style. Is written in complete sentences. Use clear and direct language. Both bring the piece of writing to a satisfying end. – Both follow logically from the content of the rest of the text In a Venn diagram, the things that are similar between the two go in the middle where the circles overlap, and the things that are unique to each one go on either side, in the appropriate circle. Point this out on the displayed Venn diagram. Read the conclusions of both text silently… the informational text is the final paragraph, and the conclusion of the narrative begins with “At that, Lord Dismalt …” and finishes at the end of the story.

“Is there one quality you notice immediately?” Analyzing the Compelling Qualities of the Conclusion of the Model Narrative, “The Golden Key” You will analyze the conclusion of the model narrative, “The Golden Key,” looking for qualities that make it compelling in order to build a list of criteria to help you when writing your own narrative conclusions. Look at page 143 What Makes the Conclusion of “The Golden Key” Compelling? note-catcher. You will list all the qualities that make it a compelling conclusion in the Qualities column. In the Evidence column, you will record evidence of that quality. Reread the conclusion, beginning at: “At that, Lord Dismalt …” and finishing at the end of the story. “Is there one quality you notice immediately?” Ask:

What Makes the Conclusion of “The Golden Key” Compelling? note-catcher Text Qualities Evidence Conclusion 1 Narrative Text Makes sense and follows on from the previous scenes Brings everything that has happened to a close Give the class a minute to reread the conclusion, beginning at: “At that, Lord Dismalt …” and finishing at the end of the story. Ask: “Is there one quality you notice immediately?” Allow a Think/Pair/Share before revealing the last two qualities. Goes straight to the point without wandering

Moving On… S L A N T

Drafting a Compelling Conclusion Now that you have identified the criteria of a compelling narrative conclusion, you are going to use these criteria to draft your own narrative conclusion for your hero’s journey. Reread what you have written and then take 10 minutes to independently draft the conclusion. Circulate to help students who may need additional support and do an observational assessment on student progress.

Closing Fist of Five: How Compelling Is Your Conclusion? Collect these narrative story lines as a formative assessment to help gauge how much time and support students will need to complete their hero’s journey narratives..
