Poster Assignment Description

You will be making a poster of your god or goddess. You will have class time Tuesday and Wednesday and Block Day to complete the poster. Posters will be displayed  so make 'em pretty.

 What you'll need:
  • One person needs to get your poster board
  • Don't forget to put your names and period on it!
  • Everyone needs to bring colored pens and pencils.
  • You will need to incorporate text and drawings. 
Poster Requirements
~Please record your notes as Journal #4.
  • What is the basic origin and history of this Olympian? Don't forget to include both Greek and Roman names of your god.
  • 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 is derived from your god or goddess.  Include that word or root and its definition on your poster. 
HW: Bring any supplies or printed images that you'd like to use for your poster tomorrow.
