“Demigod Family Trees”
In this activity, students will create family trees for the demigods in The Sea of Monsters in order to compare and contrast their strengths.
The characters in The Sea of Monsters are broken into many groups, including demigods, gods, and monsters. Within the demigod group, there are subcategories based on godly parents, and each subcategory has different strengths. For example, Poseidon’s children have powers over water, while Athena’s children possess a gift for strategy. Individually or with a partner, create family trees for the demigods in the novel and consider the strengths of each demigod.
Share your family trees with the class. Describe the tree and the characters, and discuss the demigods’ similarities and differences with your classmates.
