This document outlines a final project assignment for students in a 6th grade English class who just finished a unit on Greek mythology. Students are asked to research and create a PowerPoint presentation about a randomly assigned Greek god or goddess. The presentation should include slides about what the god/goddess represents, their family tree, personality, offerings received, a myth summary, and interesting facts. Students have one week to complete the research and presentation, which should have at least 8 slides and incorporate related graphics and pictures to make it visually pleasing.

We’ve discussed why the Greeks created the gods and goddesses (to explain natural occurrences and human behavior), but WHO were they? Your job is to become an expert on a greek god/goddess and give their significance to the ancient Greeks. www.onlinegamesinn.com/showgame3890/Gods%20War
