Class experience
This exciting novel by Rick Riordan is about a twelve-year-old boy who has struggled in school with dyslexia and ADHD only to find out that it is because he is a "half-blood" or demigod. He has been blamed for the stealing of Zeus' lightning bolt and must find the true thief in order to save the world as he knows it. We follow him and his friends on adventures to mythical realms in order to solve the mystery.
The students will be asked to read (or listen to) 3-4 chapters per week...As a Reading teacher for students struggling with Dyslexia, I began using Rick Riordan's first novel in my public school classroom the year it was published (in 2005) because the hero in the story has ADHD and Dyslexia. I quickly fell in love with Riordan's powerful storytelling and tales full of suspense and never ending adventure. I adore making this book come alive for my students! Not only are they able to discuss and analyze the story details, but they can take part in extension activities that help them to connect to the text and spend even more time with the characters they've come to know and love.
-I will provide a study guide with all journal questions and worksheet activities. Additionally, I will provide a "fun" packet with crossword puzzles, word searches and art extension activities. -Students will need a copy of the book "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief" and a notebook with lined paper (or a binder with loose leaf paper) to use for their journal
