- Journal questions for anticipatory discussion:
a.
Have you ever betrayed or let down by a friend? Is that person still
your friend? If so, how did you make up?
b.
If someone knew something really bad that was going to happen in
your life, and there was nothing you could do about it, would you rather have
them tell you or keep it a secret? Why?
As
You Read:
- What’s the tradition for campers who return from quests? How did the Ares cabin “honor” Percy?

- What is the bead for Percy’s first summer?

- What is unique about Backbiter, Luke’s new sword?
- Why is it dangerous to litter at Camp Half-Blood?

Follow-up
Activities:
- Wanted Poster. Now that we know Luke is the betrayer at Camp Half-Blood, design a wanted poster that can be posted around Mount Olympus. You will need to draw a picture of Luke, perhaps in the form of a mug shot. You will also need to include a physical description, a list of the crimes he is wanted for, the location where he was last scene, any special powers or weapons people should look out for, and a reward, if you want to offer one.
- Percy’s choice. Write a paragraph defending or attacking Percy’s choice to leave Camp Half-Blood for the school year. Is it wise? Why or why not?
