Weekly 5 weeks - Percy Jackson Book 1 - Reading Fluency and Conversation - Scri

In this fun and engaging Reader's Theatre camp, we will share the reading of Rick Riordan's FIRST novel Percy Jackson The Lightening Thief, adapted for Reader's Theatre.  There are five scripts adapted from the first book, and we will read one script per day.  We will then have in depth discussions that will cover: themes, character development, forshadowing, antagonist and protagonist, metephors and the hero's journey

Day 1:  Chapter 1 - Reading script and discussion of characters
Day 2:  Chapter 8 - Reading script and discussion of foreshadowing
Day 3:  Chapter 15 - Reading script and discussion of antagonist and protagonist
Day 4:  Chapter 19 - Reading script and discussion of themes and metephors
Day 5:  Chapter 21 - Reading script and discussion of the hero's journey

The focus of my class is self confidence, risk taking and encouragement.  If you have a reluctant reader, a shy or anxious child, this is a safe place for them to be able to express themselves through a script.  If you have a child who loves to try different vocal choices, this is the perfect place to try them out!   

We will read the lines together to build trust and confidence and then assign parts.  
If any child is feeling shy or unsure, I will read the lines with them.  We will support each other until everyone is comfortable to read independently.  
There is no need for memorization.  Scripts will be provided before class.  Costumes, props and make-up are optional.
