3 OPENING TRIAD How does Percy show he is a hero in Chapter 17?
In your triad, share one location you placed an evidence flag in chapter 17. Explain why you flagged this location.

4 CLOSE READERS Close readers dig deeper into: Words Meaning Structure of a text

5 Think/Pair/Share Look back at “Reading Closely, Questioning Texts” from lesson 8 Talk about the questions below “Why are we reflecting on the things close readers do? How is this helpful?” “What are the themes of a myth? How can we work out what the themes are and which one is most significant?”

6 WHOLE CLASS Take out “Prometheus” text Read along as I read aloud, paragraph 1.

7 Think/Pair/Share “What information/ideas are described in detail?”
“Are there any elements of mythology that keep coming up?” “Are you getting any ideas about the theme? Is there an idea that seems to run all the way through the text?” “Is there a significant element of mythology that points you toward a theme?”
