Book Talk Activity Presentation
Did you know that fiction books make you sympathize others? That’s because when you read, you go on an “adventure” alongside the characters and gradually relate to them. To achieve the effects, you must have a deep understanding of the characters’ personalities, thinking, backgrounds, attitudes, and more.
Today I will be discussing Leo Valdez, one of the protagonists of the novel The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan. (Show book)
First, let’s find out a little about Leo. He is a son of Hephaestus, Greek name Vulcan, god of forges, fire, technology, craftsmen, sculptors, volcanoes, and blacksmiths.

2. Mom’s pictures
Leo loved his mother deeply and still blamed himself for her death. Having his mother’s pictures in his bedroom would remind Leo of his memories.
3. Loose screws, nuts, bolts, pipe cleaners
Leo likes to fiddle with these items when his hands are free. When he first saw the Hephaestus cabin, he revealed that he wanted to stuff all the loose machine parts on the tables into his pockets, but went against the idea because (a) he
