Rick RiordanA modern alternative to SparkNotes and CliffsNotes, SuperSummary offers high-quality Study Guides with detailed chapter summaries and analysis of major themes, characters, and more. For select classroom titles, we also provide Teaching Guides with discussion and quiz questions to prompt student engagement.
Use these questions or activities to help gauge students’ familiarity with and spark their interest in the context of the work, giving them an entry point into the text itself.
Short Answer
1. What do you know about the Olympians in Greek mythology? Who is the Greek god Poseidon, and what are his special powers?
Teaching Suggestion: It may be beneficial to break students into small groups or pairs to conduct research on Poseidon. Students who already read The Lightning Thief or who have pre-existing knowledge of Greek mythology could be invited to share their knowledge with their partner or group. Afterwards, volunteers might share what they learned.
2. The Sea of Monsters is a sequel to Rick Riordan’s The Lightning Thief. Consider some of the sequels you have encountered in literature or film. How did those sequels compare to the original stories? What makes a sequel a sequel? Is it necessary for readers to read earlier works first? Why or why not?
