The Fabulous, Mythic Poster

* Group Work
  • 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)
  • Present your poster to the class (5 minutes):
    • Each member of the group must explain at least one aspect of the poster's information.
