Who Am I? Ancient Greek Gods and Goddesses
You are going to design and present a poster starring a Greek God or Goddess of your
choosing. Please read the following information.
Religion was important to the ancient Greeks. They believed that it would make their lives better while
they were living. They also believed the gods would take care of them when they died.
The Ancient Greeks believed in many different gods and goddesses. The Greeks believed that these
gods and goddesses controlled everything in their lives and the environment. There was a god for every
aspect of their lives. It was important to please the gods; happy gods helped you, but unhappy gods
punished you. People had special places in their homes where they could pray to the gods. There were also
public shrines in all sorts of places where people could pray and leave presents.
What to do:

Choose a god or goddess from the list that Ms.Woodruff has provided for you.
Research the god or goddess you have chosen.
Make a poster(use a tri-fold poster board) of the god or goddess.
Present your god or goddess to the class.
Your poster needs to include at least the following information:


Name of God or goddess
Your Name
5 facts about your god or goddess.
Include their role (what they were god or goddess of) and how your god or goddess is related to
other gods or goddesses.
A drawing or a printed picture of your god or goddess. No clip art, please.
A story about your god or goddess.
You will need to use a tri-fold poster board.
Your poster should be neat, legible(I must be able to read it), and visually appealing.
You may use colored pencils, crayons, or markers.
Illustrations or lettering can be done on separate paper and attached with glue, or you can work directly on
the poster. Either way, plan your design on scrap paper before beginning work on your poster. This will
ensure that you fit all the necessary requirements on your poster in a neat and interesting way.
Practice presenting with a friend or in front of the mirror (or both). This will give you more confidence
when you present your work. Your audience will be better able to enjoy your presentation. Here is the
