Chapter 8: We Capture A Flag - LT#10

For chapter 8, you will not have a writing activity, however, I would like you to make a comment on this post after pondering this situation:

Choose your “dream team” for the camp capture-the-flag game. Since you have already read the chapter, pretend you are Annabeth, the leader of Athena’s cabin. You will be fighting the Ares cabin. Using what you know about the gods, make a list of your top picks for the other cabins you’d like to have on your side. Rank them from first to last. Place your list as a comment to this post  discuss why you ranked them the way you did, and be prepared to explain to the class.

Questions from the Chapter:


1. Why are the counselors having a hard time deciding who Percy’s Olympian parent is?
2. How does Percy surprise everyone during his first sword class? How do you think he was able to do this?
3. According to Grover, why did the “Big Three” gods swear never to have any more children?
4. Why does the story about Thalia make Percy feel “hollow and guilty”?
5. In capture-the-flag, why does Percy feel like he’s being left out of the action?
6. How does Percy manage to overcome the kids from Ares’s cabin?
7. What was Annabeth’s plan to win the flag?
8. Why does Annabeth make Percy stand in the water?
9. What does Chiron say about how the hellhound got into camp?
10. When you find out Percy’s true identity, are you surprised or did you see it coming? What clues were given earlier in the book?

  5. Apollo would be good Because if at least million of people get hurt she could heal them I wish she was my sister.

    Poseidon two I can give them a big bucket of water they could use it to make people suffer.

    Demeter she could grow stuff and make people trip on it and we could also have fruits and vegtebels and throw it at them.

    I would also choose Artemis I would tell them to use there arrows to kill or just hurt them.

    That is pretty much who I would choose they are pretty cool. :)
