Study/Learn:
Choose one of these 10 things questions to answer from the book, "Percy Jackson." Be prepared to share your answers.
- Percy says his mother was the best person ever and he’d never heard her raise her voice or say one unkind word to anyone. Do you think that’s realistic? Why or why not?
- Mr. Brunner (Chiron) made things like Roman armor interesting to his students. If you could acquaint others with something you’re passionate about, what would it be and how would you introduce it to them?
- A deleted scene was released when the Percy Jackson facebook page reached one million “likes.” The scene involved an initiation of Percy into camp life. The Camp Half-Blood campers picked up Percy and made him kiss the boar head on the Ares cabin before dumping him into the lake. Have you ever been the “new kid” someplace? If so, what was your experience like?
- Chiron says, about the effects of Mist: “Remarkable, really, the lengths humans will go to fit things into their version of reality.” How is that true in the story? What about in real life?
- Were you surprised when it’s discovered that Percy is Poseidon’s son? Give examples from the text where hints were dropped.
- Imagine you’re a half-blood. Write an account describing your arrival at Camp Half-Blood and how you would come to learn which god is your parent.
- There are many humorous passages in the book. Describe some of your favorites.
- Author Rick Riordan’s website contains classroom activities based on the book. One of his suggestions is to write character letters, where students write letters from one character to another. For instance, he says: “Clarisse wrote her dad Ares, telling him to stop being a bully. Percy wrote a letter to his mom, promising to save her. Grover wrote a letter to Chiron, explaining why he should get his seeker’s license to find Pan.” Which characters would you have exchange letters and what would the letters say
- Do you sympathize with the betrayal Luke felt? Why or why not?
- A movie based on the book was released in February of 2010. It was titled Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief. The film’s plot deviates from the book’s but is still considered a faithful adaptation. Watch the movie for yourself and compare it to the book.
- Get together with your culture groups either in person, or on zoom, or on the phone, or whatever.
- You should have all the final touches to your culture completed before coming to class.
- Bring all of your culture pieces that you have created.
- Someone from your group needs to bring a shovel. (I'm sure Martin's have a couple shovels, but not 6! So bring one!)
Become/Serve: It's almost Valentine's Day! I love celebrating holidays. I love dressing up for occasions. I love serving. I love you!
Do one of the following:
- Find a scripture about love. Write it out in your best handwriting on a nice piece of paper and bring it to display on the wall.
- Write a note to a family member telling them how much you love and appreciate them.
- Show someone that you love them by completing an act of service. Make cookies, make their bed, heart attack someone's door, etc. Maybe you can do this for someone lonely in your neighborhood, for a sibling, or for a friend.
