Wednesday, 8/21: Poster Work

* Opening Assignment: Get your pens, pencils, and other implements out! 

* Group Work
  • You will be making a poster of your god or goddess.
  • 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 you first notes 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. 
    • 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.
  1. Zeus (Jupiter, Jove)
  2. Hera (Juno)
  3. Poseidon (Neptune)
  4. Dionysus (Bacchus)
  5. Apollo (Apollo)
