2. How to create a novel based on a mythology idea.

   • Literacy capability: I will be able to develop a formula on how to write a short story and expand my word bank for Mythology words.

3. To create a short story with a message to the audience of youth, morals, beliefs, cultures etc.

   • Since Riordan uses demigods make one of your own and create a quest for that character.

6. Authors to look at:

   • Rick Riordan: Bestselling author
