Greek Mythology Research Project/Presentation
Prompt
Research one Greek god, goddess, or important Greek mythological figure, and create a Google Slides presentation showing what you have learned. You will also be giving a brief (approximately 3 minutes) presentation to the class about your topic.
Research Process
You will be given a Greek god, goddess, or mythological figure to research from the “Greek Mythology” list.
Find three reliable sources about topic to use in your paper. You may use reliable websites, but you must use at least one printed text (book, encyclopedia, etc.) and one online database. Wikipedia is NOT A RELIABLE SOURCE!
Read your three sources and note any important information you should discuss in your paper on the “Notes Sheets” (one notes sheet per source). Each source should provide you with at least 10 pieces of information—if a source doesn’t provide enough information, find a different one! Try to avoid pulling the same information from each source; the more information you have, the better off you’ll be.
Your slide show should include the following slides:
1) Introduction Page
2) What are they the god of? Who your figure is and what he or she represents?
3) Why is your figure important to Greek mythology?
4) Other Greek names by which your figure has been known? What is their symbol?
5) Who your figure is related to – mother and father, siblings, and children (if any)
6) What are characteristics symbols that represent your figure? (Sacred animals, colors, etc.)
7) Describe in detail an interesting myth(s) associated with your figure.
8) Works Cited Page
Be sure to give credit to all of your sources! Please be sure to include a citation page at the end of your presentation showing where you got your information.
