Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters

The Writing Process

It was difficult to be consistent when reading my book over spring break, as I wanted to relax and hangout with friends. I ended up rushing to finish this book once I realized spring break was coming to an end. It was easy for me to express how I felt about this book because I found it interesting and captivating. I most enjoyed the climax and denouement because it was unexpected and set up the next book. When Thalia was resurrected I was surprised and excited to read more.

Core Competency Reflection

Evidence that I can acquire information about complex and specialized topics from various sources, synthesize it, and present it with thoughtful analysis can be found in… My book response. I thought of the events that occurred in the book and showed how I interpreted them during my presentation.

I compile and synthesize information to draw reasoned conclusions, such as when… I was working on the themes and reflection of my book. I had to use information from the book to come up with a theme and justify it to the class. I also had to reflect on how I felt about the book.

I show others that I truly value their contributions by… respectively listening to everyone when they were presenting and clapping afterwards to show that I appreciate their bravery by presenting to the class. It is not easy presenting in front of 30 people, it shows courage.

I have valuable ideas to share about… and do so by… using my voice. I can sometimes find it difficult to express myself through speaking, it is hard to formulate a sentence that will properly show what I am thinking. I had to write down key notes on my story to be able to present in front of the class effectively.
