Trading+Card+Project

Capitalize on student interest and develop understanding of character traits through the Trading Card project!
Readers are introduced to numerous characters in Book 1: Maze of Bones. These characters reappear in later books. Readers will be able to apply more efficient reading strategies, if they are very familiar with the characters. For example, predictions are likely to be more appropriate if they really have a sense of the characters personality and qualities.
