This is a 8 week class where the students will read through chapters of The Titan's Curse 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 Titan's Curse: Percy Jackson and the Olympians 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.
Learning Goals

Other Details
Parental Guidance
In The Titan's Curse you'll find plenty of action in the way of monster skirmishes using swords, arrows of all kinds, throwing knives, burritos (yup), and poison darts. Undead warriors tracking the heroes shoot guns -- they also get limbs lopped off and reformed the way zombies do. The bigger deal in Book 3: One major character is kidnapped at the beginning of the story and two characters die on the quest to save her. One we assume dies after a metal giant she's inside is electrocuted, and the other dies slowly from a poison bite and is heavily mourned. There's a running joke at Hoover Dam that uses the word "dam" a lot. Percy will do anything to save his friends and is not tempted by anyone offering him power.
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
