For Lesson 11 - Part II

 
 



  • I can get the gist of an excerpt from The Lightning Thief.
  • I can answer questions using evidence about an excerpt from The Lightning Thief
  • I can select evidence from both The Lightning Thief and “The Hero’s Journey” that shows how Percy is on a hero’s journey.
Based on today’s Learning Targets, what do you think we will be doing in today’s lesson?

Follow along while I read from page 78 - 82.
How is the meaning of archetype that we learned connected to this idea of the minotaur as an archetype?
