Tuesday 8/27 - Create God/Goddess Posters

 At the bell.... get into your groups and get needed poster paper and supplies.

Your poster MUST include:
  1.  Large print of both the Greek and Roman names of your god/goddess.
  2. Images that represent your god/goddess.
  3. The names of you and your partners and period number. (Write them very small, on the front of the poster in the lower right hand corner please.)
  4. Information:
  • What is the basic origin and history of this Olympian?
  • What is the 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 the god or goddess is the main star.
  • Next, search the scriptures: Fine 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.) Record a brief explanation of the match you found. 
  • Lastly, find at least THREE modern words (or word roots) that relate to your god/goddess. Include that word or root and its definition on your poster.
