Join me every week as we use discussion questions to talk about the Percy Jackson books by Rick Riordan. Each week we also do a themed activity.

Class experience

Students will discuss questions related to books.  They will practice reading comprehension and forming/expressing opinions.  They will practice group discussion.  They will participate in a variety of themed activities.
Most of the supplies for class are things that are easily found around the house.  Some weeks I will send a worksheet or other printable the week before class. A few weeks require recipe ingredients.  I will send out the recipes the week before class.
