As a demigod, Percy Jackson has a unique perspective of the Greek gods and goddesses.  Each week students will read and learn about his dysfunctional family and their lying, stealing, backstabbing and cannibalism.  We will shake Percy's family tree and discover their misdeeds in new myths each class.  This book and class are a twist on classic mythology loaded with Percy's sarcasm and a 21st century perspective. 
Students will read the myth(s) in advance of class, participate in a teaching lecture/discussion about the myth(s) for the first 20 - 30 minutes of class, complete or participate in a learning activity for 20 - 30  minutes and conclude the class with a wrap up, resources for learning, and connections to prior knowledge.  
Slides, games, discussion, breakout rooms, and group activities are included in the lessons.

Students do not need any prior knowledge in order to take this class, but a basic knowledge of Greek Mythology may be helpful.

**********PLEASE READ*************
Outschool has recently changed its policy regarding class cancellations. We know how disappointing canceled classes can be for learners, so we too are amending our policy.  In the past we have waited for late enrollees, of which we have had MANY!  Unfortunately we can no longer do that. 

Instead we will evaluate class enrollment for ongoing classes on teach Sunday at 5pm Eastern.  IF enrollment falls below 3 students, we will push the class back a week.  When other sections are available students will have the option to transfer to another class.  Full refunds will be provided for learners who cannot attend the newly scheduled class time. Partial refunds for missed classes are NOT available. If a student must miss class, the recording is available to view at their convenience. All other refunds will be provided as per the Outschool Limited Refund policy (see below).  If for any reason the class does not meet your expectation, you have the confidence of knowing that Outschool has a Happiness Guarantee and will provide a refund upon request via their Customer Support. 

Transfer requests within 24 hours of a scheduled class will NOT be approved.  At that point it is too late to reschedule the class, and it is unfair to other families who may have enrolled thinking there were multiple learners enrolled. Instead students will be encouraged to watch the video of the class.

 
Thank you for understanding, and for your loyalty.


******Students are expected to have their cameras on, and to participate verbally.******
