Our Greek Mythology unit is smoothly progressing! Of all of the units we have done this year, my students are more engaged with this text than them all. I have been so blown away by The Lightning Thief that I looked into more books that Rick Riordan has written, and loved his writing style! As I began to read more about him, I found the back story of how he began writing for children fascinating. His son's love for Greek Mythology and desire to hear a fresh new bedtime story inspired Riordan to invent this first story line! Attached is a biographical presentation about Rick Riordan - the last slide includes a vodcast book review of The Lightning Thief.
