Three is company! Scholars work in groups of three to discuss quotes from the first pages of The Lightning Thief. Each group records their thinking on the paper of the quotes before talking about Percy's character using the Making Inferences About Percy anchor chart. The group of three ends by completing text-dependent questions.
