- You will be making a poster of your god or goddess.
- One person needs to get your poster board.
- Everyone needs to bring colored pens and pencils.
- You will need to incorporate text and drawings.
- Write your names (first and last) and class period on the front of your poster (in pen, please).
- You will include similar information to your first journal assignment:
- What is the basic origin and history of this Olympian?
- What is this god or goddess associated with (wine, fertility, war, death, grain, a certain planet, an occupation, etc.)?
- What symbols usually attend this god or goddess (eagle, thunderbolt, winged shoes, etc.)?
- Explain a favorite story in which this god or goddess chiefly figures.
- Note at least one reference or allusion one may find in arts and culture (music, painting, ads, etc.).
- Search the Scriptures: Find a verse, passage, or story from the Bible that relates to a story from your god or goddess (perhaps the moral is similar; perhaps it is opposite; perhaps the story appears to be a modified reflection of a story in the Bible)
- Lastly, find at least one modern word (or word root) that relates to your god or goddess. Include that word or root and its definition on your poster.
- Find Helpful Articles and Images (user: MVCS pass: school's wifi pass)
