🧝♂️ Welcome, conquering heroes! Are you ready for adventures where the modern world meets mythological gods and creatures of old? Come join us as we explore the amazing world of Percy Jackson. 🧝♀️ 𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐒 𝐃𝐄𝐒𝐂𝐑𝐈𝐏𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍: From daring rescues to dangerous quests, we will explore the world of Percy Jackon together. Rick Riordon draws readers into a suspenseful world where two timelines collide to create epic battles and myths come to life. The Percy Jackson book series brings Greek mythology to life in a modern context, showcasing how ancient legends can still resonate with today's readers. Rick Riordan seamlessly weaves these myths into the fabric of the modern world, from Mount Olympus being located above the Empire State Building to Medusa working at a roadside sculpture garden. By doing so, Riordan sparks curiosity in readers about Greek mythology, inviting them to explore and learn more about the rich tapestry of ancient stories that continue to influence our culture and imagination. It's a clever and engaging way to introduce young readers to the wonders of Greek mythology and its enduring relevance in our modern lives. 🥰 𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐒 𝐄𝐗𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄: We discuss a new novel during each class. All Students learn: -reading strategies -how to analyze who they are as readers -how to communicate about literature and life! -They begin to develop their criteria for evaluating the books they read -They begin to understand the type of readers they are. 🎥TEACHER BIOS & INTRO VIDEOS: To see teacher introduction videos, go here: https://youtu.be/vHavD9LJ_gg 📆 SCHEDULE: 𝗪𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝘀𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀.
