Another teacher in my building purchased this resource last year and when I saw the quality of the resource, I knew I needed to purchase it for myself. I used this resource when teaching this novel and I was impressed with the variety of options and standards it addresses.

This was an AMAZING resource for a Percy Jackson novel study. There are so many different activities for each chapter, so you can pick and choose what you want to do as you go along, and change things up for each chapter so kids don't get bored! Everything is really well thought out and designed. This was a real lifesaver! The cabin competition was especially engaging- the kids got really into it!
