With your group, you will compete for different events for prizes by remembering information about the book. There will also be TDA analyzes on the characters.
Romeo and Juliet
The Odyssey
This epic will become a favorite for you Percy Jackson fans. You will learn about of Odysseus' feats and losses during his journey. You will see the many monsters, gods , and goddesses and will research them. You will also have to fill out study guides along the way!
Poetry
This section will be the last section of your freshman career. It will bring out your emotional side( unless you are Gavin Miller). You will be inspired by many young poets from Louder that a Bomb and others in the world. You will be required to write a poem on anything your heart desires.
