What is a career you would definitely not choose?

Using what you know about the gods, make a list of your top picks for the other cabins you’d like to have on your side. Rank them from first to last. Pair up with a partner and compare your lists. Discuss why you ranked them the way you did, and be prepared to explain to the class.

  14. Study Questions – As you read • 1. Why are the counselors having a hard time deciding who Percy’s Olympian parent is? • 2. How does Percy surprise everyone during his first sword class? How do you think he was able to do this? • 3. According to Grover, why did the “Big Three” gods swear never to • have any more children? • 4. Why does the story about Thalia make Percy feel “hollow and • guilty”? • 5. In capture-the-flag, why does Percy feel like he’s being left out of the action? • 6. How does Percy manage to overcome the kids from Ares’s cabin? • 7.What was Annabeth’s plan to win the flag? • 8. Why does Annabeth make Percy stand in the water? • 9. What does Chiron say about how the hellhound got into camp? • 10.When you find out Percy’s true identity, are you surprised or did you see it coming? What clues were given earlier in the book?

  15. Activities - Reader’s Theater. • Have students divided into groups of 3-4 and pick a page of dialogue to read out loud like a script. Students pick parts and only read what is inside the quotation marks for their characters’ lines. Percy’s fight with the Ares cabin, or ending scene with Chiron, Clarisse, Annabeth and Percy make good scenes to read. Once students have practiced their lines a few times, have them perform for the rest of the class.

  16. Prediction. • Now that everyone knows who Percy’s father is, how will this change the way people at camp see him? Is it a good thing or a bad thing that Percy is the son of Poseidon? Why?

  17. Learn Ancient Greek. • Use the attached worksheet to try your hand at this ancient language, the way Percy does in his morning lessons with Annabeth.

  18. Learning Ancient Greek Percy takes lessons in Ancient Greek from Annabeth every morning. He says a demigod’s brain is “hardwired” for Greek. Try your hand at learning the Greek alphabet below. Try writing your name and the names of the Olympian gods using Greek letters.
