This is a 1 week class where the students will need to read through short stories The Son of Sobek, The Staff of Serapis, and The Crown of Ptolemy before class. In class we will be discussing the short stories that we read, going over vocabulary for the stories and answering discussion questions. Every student will need a copy of short stories The Son, The Staff of Serapis, and The Crown of Ptolemy by Rick Riordan and they will need to read the stories before the class. Students are expected to actively participate during class and with the vocabulary and discussion questions during class. We will introduce ourselves to each other; find out who our god or goddess parent is like the characters in the stories; discuss the short stories and vocabulary for them.
Learning Goals
Students will learn to establish their own thoughts while reading a story and sharing them with others. We will be looking at new vocabulary for each of the stories and discussing what we think about what has happened.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Parents need to know that these three short stories, which combine main characters from Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson and Kane Chronicles series, were previously available separately as ebooks only. "The Son of Sobek" was released in 2013, "The Staff of Serapis" in 2014, and "The Crown of Ptolemy" in 2015. The hardcover book Demigods & Magicians: Percy and Annabeth Meet the Kanes includes all three stories, a forward by Percy Jackson, eight full-color illustrations, and a peek at the first chapter of The Hidden Oracle, the start of a series to be released in May 2016. Kids will need to have read at least some of the main Percy Jackson series (five books) and the slightly more complex Kane Chronicle series (three books) to get what's going on when Greek mythology and Egyptian mythology and magic collide. Expect the same kinds of fantasy violence in these shorts that you saw in the other series -- battles against monsters and gods where they get stabbed with swords or blown up. The good guys -- all teens -- get injured but heal with their magical nectar and potions. Readers will learn a bit about Alexander the Great and how he united the Greece and Egypt in his giant empire.
Supply List
Each student will need a copy of the short stories The Son of Sobek, The Staff of Serapis, and The Crown of Ptolemy by Rick Riordan.

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
