You will get to play the part of a god or mythological creature for one day.
You will prepare by doing research in the library.
You will write an introduction and a story about yourself. You will use feedback from your teacher to help you
write a typed, polished final version.
In your oral presentation, you will use a name card and name tag to identify yourself, introduce yourself,
present a picture of yourself and a prop or symbol that represents you, and tell your story.
Requirements are below; costume is optional.
Requirement
Research in the LMC:
stay on task; gather information & materials
Rough Draft:
Hand in a first draft of your introduction and story to your
teacher for feedback. This should be about a page, typed,
double-spaced, 12 point font. I will accept hand-written
drafts, but YOU are responsible for writing enough to fulfill
the length requirement. Be sure to include the following:
 Type an introduction including your relation to
other gods/characters and some basic facts about
you.
 In your own words, retell a story about yourself.
Use first person.
 Tell how you’re alive today (min. 5 examples unless
otherwise approved by teacher) – business or
product names; autos or other transportation;
bands; songs, books, movies, plays (titles or
references)
Presentation (3 minute maximum):
 Name card for desk: 6” x 10” – Decorate and be
creative! Pronounce your name correctly.
 Name tag to wear: 2” x 3” – be creative!


Picture – find or create; 8.5” x 11”
Find or create a three-dimensional symbol or prop
that represents you.
 Orally present yourself, by explaining your picture
and prop, retelling your story, and telling how
you’re still alive.
Final Draft:
Hand in the final version of the typed introduction, story,
and how you’re still alive; should be well written and free
of errors.
