It's all just an allusion. Scholars learn the meaning of allusion and read an allusion in The Lightning Thief. Learners gather in their triads and discuss questions from the text to take a close look at vocabulary words and choose an unfamiliar word to write on their tickets. Readers then answer questions and discuss the Myth of Prometheus that was referenced in the text.
