    Project Overview:

    Report: The final product will be a 5 paragraph (each paragraph must contain 5-7 sentences) informational research paper on the Greek god/goddess of your choice. It will need to contain the following:

     

    1. Introduction: Greek name of god/goddess, the title of the god/goddess, a list of any important powers they have, a brief description of where the god/goddess can usually be found (where does the god/goddess spend most of their time in the myths).
    2. Family/Relatives: parents, siblings, and children; what gods or goddesses did they marry or love (the gooey soap opera part 😃). Monsters- this might be harder for you, but many of your monsters came from someone or were made by someone. 
    3. History: The story of development of the god from birth to adult life.
    4. Physical appearance and symbols: description of what the god/goddess looked like and any weapons/objects/animals/other symbols associated with the god/goddess.
    5. Celebration: Are/were there any festivals to celebrate the god/goddess? Is the god/goddess a patron god/goddess of any city or area?
    6. Summary of one important myth involving the god/goddess: A retelling of the major events in one myth, with a focus on the most important characteristics and powers of the god/goddess.
    7. Conclusion: Other fun/interesting facts or identifying characteristics of the subject; summary of the findings; leave the reader with something to remember about your god/goddess.

     

    Cover Page: You will create a cover page that includes:

    • Greek name of god/goddess

For the bibliography, the only requirement is for students to use the attached sheet to fill out resources. We will go over this in class.
