Preparation and Materials
Ensure that families are aware of the sensitive content of The Lightning Thief, and prepare students who may be a ected by this content in advance.
In this unit, students will research a Greek god or goddess in preparation for the end of nit assessment, in which they rewrite a scene from The Lightning Thief, inserting a new character of their own creation. To maintain the first person point of view, students will rewrite the scene as if they are their new character, a child of a Greek god/goddess of their choosing. Some students and their families may find this exercise in conflict with their religious views. Create a safe space for students to privately discuss their concerns, and be prepared with alternative ways for students to complete the assessment. Students may choose a di erent historic or traditional figure to research and on which to base their character (e.g., Superman, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Oprah Winfrey). Guide students in their choice for an alternative figure by asking 1) Can you conduct substantial research on this person?; and 2) What powers or special abilities would the character inherit from this person?
