This is a 8 week class where the students will read through chapters of The Blood of Olympus each week. Each class we will be discussing the chapters we read, going over vocabulary for the chapters and answering discussion questions. Every student will need a copy of The Blood of Olympus: The Heroes of Olympus by Rick Riordan and each week they will need to read the chapters before the next class. Students are expected to actively participate during class and with the assigned reading and discussion questions each week.

Other Details
Parental Guidance
The Blood of Olympus is the last book in The Heroes of Olympus series that spun off from the über-popular Percy Jackson series. It's about teen demigods (who have one Greek- or Roman-god parent) on quests to save humanity from ancient monsters still at large in the world. Author Rick Riordan combines plenty of action and danger (usually not gory -- monsters may get decapitated, but they disappear into dust when they die) mixed with lots of humor and learning. Some minor characters die from arrow wounds and from an explosion, there are many battles with injuries, and there's a threat that one of the seven demigods will die as well (but we won't give that away). The diverse cast includes Asian, African-American, Latino, and straight and gay characters.
Supply List

Hi I am Teacher Kaylyn and I have been working with children in many different ways for over 15 years in many different ways. Most recently I have taught online for online since 2019, teaching ESL and here on Outschool. I have a 6 year old son and I am used to high energy fun. I love to make learning fun and I want to share my interests with others. Since I do have a young son I love to teach young students. It is great when they figure something out and you can see something click. I love to read and I really like to do book studies to share that love with others. I have learned that to start a passion for reading you need to find the right books that you can't put down. I want to help others to their own books they are passionate about. I love to make candies and my family loves it when I do also; they get all the samples. I hope to see you in class soon!Reviews
