If I was a teacher, there would be a lot of useful things here. I taught school in the mid 80’s Jr High, Sr High and Adult computer classes. My son, who is in the 7th grade, likes the Percy Jackson movies and I think he would like these especially if his teacher at school handed him some pages to do.
