God/ Goddess Activity

Option 1

Directions: Imagine yourself as a god or goddess. Oh, sorry, I forgot that you already are! Anyway, create a picture of yourself as a Greek god or goddess. You may draw yourself, cut out magazine clippings or use the computer to create yourself as a god or goddess. Think about what you are the god or goddess of (for example, Athena is the goddess of wisdom). On the bottom of your picture, write at least 2 sentences stating what you are the god or goddess of,including what your powers are, and why you chose to make yourself the god or goddess of that.

Option 2

Directions: Imagine that a Greek god or goddess is a modern day person. Draw, use magazine clippings or use the computer to create your Greek god or goddess as a modern day person. Think about what they are the god or goddess of and use that to show what they would be like as a person today. On the back are a list of Greek gods and goddesses. You are not limited to these, they are just suggestions. You may also use any other characters from Greek mythology that may be mortals, titans, nymphs, cyclopsor creatures (for example, Achilles, Paris, Hector, Odysseus, Cronos, Atlas, Daphne). Look online for lists of Greek mythological characters if you want to find someone different to do. On the bottom of your picture, write at least 2 sentences stating what Greek being you chose with a brief description of them then and now.
