"Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief" Book 1 Social Book Club

Each week learners will come to class prepared by reading the assigned chapters. We start by summarizing the chapters. Learners will then discuss what they liked and did not like from the weeks reading. We will talk about our favorite characters and their Heros journey. I will have questions that are meant to inspire discussion with the class. The learners are welcome to ask their own questions. If learners want their camera's off during class that is fine with me as long as they turn on their camera when entering the classroom.
