Monster+Mash+-+The+Lightning+Thief

As you know, Percy encounters several monsters throughout the novel. In order to learn about some of them, you and a partner are going to research a monster from a selected list of web sites, summarize your findings in writing, then turn your findings into a Blabber (I’ll get to that later).

Days 1 & 2: Review how to summarize, search the sites for your monster, take notes, and find an image of your monster (you will need to save the image as a jpeg!) Day 3: Create a NoodleBib for the sites you researched (you will need a minimum of two—one source for each person) and practice your Blabber Day 4: Record your Blabber
 * Here is a breakdown of the assignment:**

The web sites are below: **Blabber instructions:** See Mrs. Myers to sign up. When you do, you may only search the ‘My Stuff’ and ‘Make’ links. You may not ‘Browse’ other projects. //This will result in point deductions!// Also, please mark you Blabber as **PRIVATE.**
