How do I get started? First, you will want to gather your supplies. Depending on which format you purchased from us, you will need different supplies. So, take what applies, and skip over the rest. *** Printing: *Print instructions and study guide on white copy paper. *Print the booklet templates on 24# colored paper. *** Assembly: *Folders: We use colored file folders, which can be found at Wal-Mart, Sam s, Office Depot, Costco, etc. You will need 3 file folders. You may use manila folders if you prefer, but we have found that children respond better with the brightly colored folders. Don t worry about the tabs. they aren t important. If you prefer, you can purchase the assembled lapbook bases from our website. *Glue: For booklet assembly, we use glue sticks and sometimes hot glue, depending on the specific booklet. We have found that bottle glue stays wet for too long, so it s not a great choice for lapbooking. *Other Supplies: Of course, you will need scissors. Many booklets require additional supplies. Some of these include metal brad fasteners, paper clips, ribbon, yarn, staples, hole puncher, etc. You may want to add decorations of your own, including stickers, buttons, coloring pages, cut-out clipart, etc. The most important thing is to use your imagination! Make it your own!! 4
Ok. I ve gathered the supplies. Now how do I use this product? Inside, you will find several sections. They are as follows: 1. Student Booklet Instruction Guide: This section is written directly to the student, in language that he or she can understand. However, depending on the age of the child, there may be some parent/teacher assistance needed. These instructions will tell the student exactly how to assemble the lapbook base and how to cut out and assemble each booklet. Here, they will find a layout of where each booklet should be placed in the lapbook and pictures of a completed lapbook. They will also tell the student exactly what should be written inside each booklet as he or she comes to it during the study. 2. Booklet Templates: This section includes all of the templates for the booklets within this lapbook. 3. Study Guide: This section includes most of the information that you need to teach this subject. You may choose to teach directly from the Study Guide, or you may choose to allow your student to read the study guide himself. Either way, you will find all of the information here. 5

Greek Mythology The Twelve Olympians "Greek - Procession of Twelve Gods and Goddesses - Walters 2340" by Anonymous (Greece) Walters Art Museum Wikipedia Zeus Hera Poseidon Athena Demeter Apollo Artemis Ares Aphrodite Hephaestus Hermes Hestia or Dionysus There are only twelve major deities. Dionysus or Hestia completes the twelve. Which god completes the twelve can change depending on who is telling the tale. Hades, although brother to five of the twelve major gods, was not part of the main twelve. Hades lived in the Underworld, not on Mount Olympus. Because of this he was not included in the twelve major gods. The twelve are the primary deities of the Pantheon. 54
Zeus King of the gods and god of the sky. Last born son and child of Titans Cronus and Rhea. Siblings: Hestia, Hera, Demeter, Poseidon, and Hades. Married to Hera. Children: Ares, Hebe, Athena, Hephaestus, Apollo, Artemis, Hermes, Persephone, Dionysus. Perseus, Heracles, Helen of Troy, Minos, and the Muses. Weapon: Thunderbolt forged by the Cyclopes. Armor: Aegis, a sacred shield made by Hephaestus which he later lends to Athena. Sacred Animal: Eagle. Roman Name: Jupiter Zeus is the youngest of the siblings and the only one not swallowed by his father, Cronus, at birth. Rhea, right after Zeus was born, swaddled a stone and gave that to Cronus to swallow instead. There are a few varying stories on how Zeus was raised. He was raised by Gaia (Mother Earth). Raised by Adamanthea, who is a nymph. Raised by Cynosura, a nymph on Mount Ida. He was raised by a shepherd family. 55
Zeus needed the help of his siblings to defeat Cronus, so Zeus went up to Cronus's throne, disguised so he wouldn't recognize him, and tricked him into vomiting up Zeus's brothers and sisters. When they were regurgitated, they came out in the opposite order they were swallowed. Zeus also needed the help of the Titans which were Cronus's siblings. He released the brothers of Cronus from Tartarus, where they had been banished by their father. The brothers were Cyclopes, Gigantes, and Hecatonchires. The Cyclopes gave Zeus lightning and thunder as a gift to thank him for releasing them. Zeus, with his brothers, sisters and the released Titans, defeated Cronus and sent him to Tartarus. After Cronus was defeated, Zeus shared the world with his brothers Poseidon and Hades. They drew lots to decide which part of the world they would rule. Zeus drew the sky and air, Poseidon drew the sea and Hades the Underworld. 56
Goddess of women and marriage. Hera Queen of the gods. Third daughter and third born of Titans Cronus and Rhea. Sister to Hestia, Demeter, Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. Married to Zeus. Children are Hephaestus, Typhoan, Hebe, Ares, Ilithyia, Enyo, and Eris. Sacred items are her crown and veil. Roman Name: Juno Sacred Animal: Peacock Hera was the third child born of Cronus and Rhea. She was also swallowed at birth and was full grown when Zeus released all his siblings from Cronus. Hera was often jealous of Zeus's unfaithfulness, and was often vengeful to his other children. Hera was angry with Zeus when Athena was born. She produced Typhaon from the power of the Earth in retaliation. She also placed two serpents in Heracles' cradle and attempted to prevent the birth of Artemis and Apollo. 57
