Mythology Report and Presentation

We are starting to explore Greek Mythology in our class. You will help us by doing research on a specific god or goddess. You will need to choose this god or goddess from the sign up sheet that will go around the class. Here are the steps to doing the research for your project.

  1. Pick a god or goddess from the sign up sheet that will be in class.
  2. You will need to be able to answer the following questions. Answer all of the questions in detail on a separate sheet of paper. You will be turning this in separate to your prezi, so make sure all the questions are covered.
  3. What is the god or goddess known for?
  4. What did this god or goddess do?
  5. What is the family like?
  6. Find and interesting story about the god or goddess.
  7. Find a picture of the god or goddess.
  8. After you have answered all these questions, you need to make a prezi presentation using that information. The presentation should include the following information in this numbered order:
  1. Name of the god or goddess
  2. Paragraph about what this god or goddess is known for.
  3. Family life. What other mythological characters are related to this god or goddess, and what is their relationship?
  4. Make a yearbook entry for your god or goddess. If this god or goddess was in our school, what would he or she be known for? (most likely to succeed, cutest, most memorable)? Why would this god or goddess be known for this? Please make this entry AT LEAST 45 WORDS LONG.
  5. Pretend your god or goddess is throwing a party. Write an invitation for this party. What would be the theme of the party? Who is invited? Who isn’t invited?
  6. Poem about the god or goddess—MUST BE AT LEAST 10 LINES
  7. Picture of the god or goddess.
