The Lightning Thief








We are starting The Lightning Thief next week.  Students love this book and it is my favorite thing to teach!  While reading the first section we will continue discussing characterization.  We will go deeper and discuss how the character acts, what the character says, and what other characters think of this character.  Throughout the chapters the author makes allusions to Greek gods and goddesses.  Students will be required to research the gods and goddesses to create notes in their Greek mythology scrapbook.  These are a couple of websites that will be used to help the students with research.
