I am starting a literary circle in my classroom. I had all of my students pic a book unanimously, and to my delight it was one of my favorites Percy Jackson and the Lighting Thief. Though I was delighted I am not sure what I can do with the book. I knew I could use it to introduce mythology to the students but I wasn't sure how to apply it to things they would be doing in class. Thank fully I found many different Ideas on Rick Riordan's website.
Of course the first thing I was drawn towards was the Literature Circle Questions.
There are a few other things that I will explore as I see how the kids are reacting to the Literature Circle setting and how they are with the book. I will then go from there and use this site as a great resours
