I’ve been meaning to do a post featuring Percy Jackson for awhile now, and since this week marks the release of the DVD of Sea of Monsters I figured now is a perfect time. In case you missed it, here is the movie trailer:

So, did that get you in the mood for some Percy Jackson teaching resources? 🙂 Well, here you go! Of course, it always makes sense to start with the best, and author Rick Riordan has a page with some fabulous resources, including an entire Lightning Thief unit! There is a Teacher’s Guide, School Project Ideas, Reader’s Guide to the Series, Event Guide, Rick’s Reading Recommendations, and Rationale. There is also an entire collection of additional Educational Resources. Great job Mr. Riordan! You can also check out http://www.percyjacksonbooks.com/ for videos, trivia, and more!
