Anyway, Nancy Bobofit was throwing wads of sandwich that stuck in his curly brown

hair, and she knew I couldn't do anything back to her because I was already on

probation. The headmaster had threatened me with death by in-school suspension if

anything bad, embarrassing, or even mildly entertaining happened on this trip.

Mrs. Dodds was a sand castle in a power fan. She exploded into yellow powder,

the art museum, about my weird hallucination that I had sliced my math teacher into

dust with a sword.

The Lightning Thief ~ Chapter 1

1. Check all the character traits that describe

Percy Jackson.

__X__ ADHD

__X__ dyslexic

__X__ half-blood

_____ has attended one special school for LD

kids his entire life

__X__ trouble magnet

_____ many friends

__X__ troubled kid

_____ traveled to Switzerland over the summer

1. Read this passage from Chapter 1.

I asked Grover where Mrs. Dobbs was.

He said, "Who?"

But he paused first, and he wouldn't look at

me, so I thought he was messing with me.

What can the reader infer from this passage?

Grover most likely knows who Mrs. Dobbs is.

3. Foreshadowing are hints about what is going

to happen in the future. List one example of

foreshadowing from Chapter 1.

One time, after she'd made me erase answers out

of old math workbooks until midnight, I told Grover

I didn't think Mrs. Dodds was human.

What you learn from me," he said, "is vitally

important. I expect you to treat it as such. I will

accept only the best from you, Percy Jackson."

It's weird being alone with a teacher, especially

Mrs. Dodds. Something about the way she looked

at the frieze, as if she wanted to pulverize it...

4. Sequence the following events in order.

__5__ Mrs. Dodds changes into a creature.

__7__ Mrs. Kerr shows up.

__2__ Percy tells the class about Kronos.

__3__ Nancy ends up in the fountain.

__6__ Percy uses his ballpoint pen to vaporize

Mrs. Dodds.

__4__ Mrs. Dodds takes Percy into the museum.

__1__ Nancy Bobofit hits Grover with chunks of

a peanut butter-and-ketchup sandwich.

5. Draw a picture of what Mrs. Dodds looked like

after she changed.

6. List the proof from text for your drawing.

Her eyes began to glow like barbecue coals. Her

fingers stretched, turning into talons. Her jacket

melted into large, leathery wings. She wasn't

human. She was a shriveled hag with bat wings

and claws and a mouth full of yellow fangs, and

she was about to slice me to ribbons.
