Making Word Models of Key Terms of Mythology

0Today we are going to continue to work with the informational text “ The Key Elements of Mythology”

0Goal: To create word models that will be used in a class glossary for myth vocabulary

What is a glossary?

0A glossary is like short dictionary. It includes an alphabetical list of words that relate to a particular subject.

Directions

Each triad will be assigned a word: prophecy, fate, archetype, supernatural, origins, separation, duality, struggle for power1. Reread the text and use context clues to determine the meaning of your word in the context of the whole text2. Using markers design a word model on chart paper. The model presents:- The word or concept- A synonym (what it is)- An antonym (what it is not)- A symbol (nonlinguistic representation)- A sentence containing the word/concept3. On the back write the definition of the word/concept

Gallery Walk

0Docent – a person in a museum that explains to people what they are seeing

0Choose one person from your triad to be the docent (this role may be rotated) to explain your model to your peers

0As you circulate around the room in your triad to look at the word models, the docent will explain their model to you

0Sticky Notes: Use your sticky notes to add to the model you are viewing (e.g. add another antonym or synonym, a sentence or symbol)
