1 Name Period Ancient Greek Mythology Organizer (Summative Project) I. STORY ELEMENTS OF A MYTH: Myths are traditional stories about the lives of the gods and legendary heroes. Besides gods and heroes, the myths also contained monsters, magic, and amazing adventures. The myths of ancient Greece are among the most famous in the world. Ancient Greeks lacked today s scientific knowledge, so myths were often created to explain the mysteries of nature such as birth, death, disease, storms, and legendary battles. Gods and Goddesses shared similar characteristics (special quality or trait that makes a person, thing, or group different from others). Gods and Goddesses behaved very much like humans. But unlike humans, they were immortal and had special powers. You will need to read at least 3 myths provided by your teacher. These include the 12 mini-booklets located in your classroom. These must be read in class when time is given.
2 II. SHORT RESPONSE: Answer the following questions using complete sentences. Remember to be descriptive and restate the question in your answers. You may refer back to pages of your textbook, pages of your folder, or the story elements section of this organizer for help. 1. What is a myth? 2. What purpose did myths serve for the ancient Greek people? 3. Describe characteristics of all Greek gods and goddesses. III. OLYMPIAN GODS/GODDESSES: Research any three Greek Olympian gods/goddesses of your choice by using the links provided on Mr. Kath s website (see below) and other resources such as the books provided in the classroom. Fill in the chart below. Specific characters can be found in Section I of this organizer. (USE the Fact Files which are located in homework assignments, the Ch. 9 links + lesson summaries located in student resources, or the PDFs shared by your teacher which are located in your ) Name of god/goddess Ruler/god of Describe the symbols that represent the god/goddess Story, facts, and/or characteristics
3 IV. MY VERY OWN MYTH: Imagine that Zeus has come to you and said that Olympus is lacking a god/goddess or hero, and he needs you for help. Create a new Olympian (You) and describe him or her below. Remember to USE COMPLETE SENTENCES and be descriptive with all of your answers below. 7. What is the name of your god/goddess/hero? 8. What is your connection to Olympus? (Which Greek god/goddess are you related to?) 9. What power(s) do you have? 10. What is your symbol(s)? 11. What are your personality traits? 12. Who are your friends? Why? (Name other Greek gods/goddesses) 13. Who are your enemies? Why? (Name other Greek gods/goddesses) V. RUBRIC CHECKLIST: As you know, myths were often used to explain natural phenomena. Your challenge is to create your own myth (origins story) to explain some natural phenomena or land formation being created. It can be anything from the origin of hurricanes to how a mountain range was created. You will first need to complete the story flowchart to help brainstorm your ideas. Refer back to page 253 of your textbook, use the provided library books, and/or internet links for examples. You MUST include the following (check off each item AFTER you complete it): Your story must involve your god/goddess or hero created above and include at least one other Olympian god/goddess that you researched. Your story must explain the creation of some natural phenomenon (such as a weather event or earthquake) or some geological feature (mountain range, a large valley, a sea, an ocean, etc.). Think about all of the incredible places we visited this year. You may choose any of those landforms. Remember that you will be explaining the origins of the phenomenon or landform. DETAILS, DETAILS Your story must have a clear well-written introduction paragraph (introduces reader to characters and setting) sentences Your story must include a clear well-written paragraph(s) that focus on the conflict and the events surrounding it sentences Your story must include a clear well-written conclusion/resolution that wraps up your myth sentences Your story should clearly show that you know something about Greek mythology by incorporating details about your powers, symbols, personalities, and other information you learned during your research (sections I IV of this packet). You will be creating your own unique set on paper provided by the teacher. Refer to the last page of this packet for more details.
4 VI. STORY FLOWCHART *Before writing your myth, please make sure you have completed all six sections of your organizer. Then check in with your teacher. Remember that this is a SUMMATIVE (test grade) project.
5 VII. You will need to include the following for your unique set. See the example on the back. *Your teacher will provide you with a blank template to use for your final draft. 22. Title of your Greek myth which becomes the theme. EX. The Wooden Horse, The Golden Touch, Curiosity and the Box, etc. Date of Event: 24. Year your myth takes place (A.D. or B.C) Title of Set: 25. Specific name of the event taking place in your picture 23. Draw a picture as a set that depicts one of the major events from your myth. Remember that this will be the front of your box that will be on display in several stores around the world. The illustration should fill this entire box. The picture should be colored using colored pencil or crayon. NO MARKERS or PEN! Number of Pieces: 26. How big is the event? Small is usually around 100 pieces and large is around 500 pieces Below will be the back of your box where you will draw the characters from your story that will be included in the set. Be sure to include symbols that may represent him or her. Ex. Zeus should have a thunder bolt because he is god of the skies. If you have any extra blank characters below, choose any Greek god/goddess/hero or monster from your research to complete your set. 27. Name of your god/goddess/hero that you created 28. Name of Greek Olympian god/goddess 29. Other character or god/goddess/hero 30. Other character or god/goddess/hero 31. Other character or god/goddess/hero
