Greek Mythology Research Assignment Directions: Everyone in the class has been assigned a different god, goddess, creature or human being from Greek Mythology. You must research them and make a slide show based upon the mythological character that you have selected. Your slide show must include visual materials as well as your research information and properly formatted in-text citations. Your presentation will be shared with me by the end of class on the due date. Your works cited page will be printed and turned in on the due date (remember that all pictures and images need to be cited along with the sources for information you use). The following questions will help guide you to a complete and thorough biography: 1. If you have selected a god or goddess please indicate what they are the god or goddess of and what special powers they possess. 2. Your character might be considered a demigod or half -god. Many of the Greek gods liked to have love affairs with human beings, which created superior human beings. If you have selected a character that is a demigod what is his/her special power? Who are his/her parents? 3. If you have selected a creature or a human being you must find out the story behind them. Why are they important? What is unique about them? 4. Read 3-5 stories involving your character and choose one myth to include in your slide show. A brief summary of this story should appear in your slide show – this should cover more than one slide and should also include visuals relating to the story. Include information such as, what moral was learned from this story and/or what purpose the myth served in civilization. 5. You should wrap up by explaining why the Greeks (and people from other nations) came up with these myths. What was the purpose for this story for the civilization it came from? Why do you think these stories still exist today? Slide show requirements: Minimum of 3 Information Sources Minimum of 5 Images Minimum 7-10 slides Character Name Powers/Domain/Special Abilities/Responsibilities – Back-story/History (includes explanation about why they’re important and what’s unique about them) Parents/Family – I’ll be looking for details here Includes a Family Tree Story Summary/Moral and/or Purpose Learned (summary is concise and complete, moral is explained) Properly Formatted In-Text Citations Works Cited (including citations for images and pictures used) – this will be printed out and turned in to me, not done as a slide.
