Greek Mythology Wax Museum Project
Students will be studying a Greek god or goddess to present at our virtual Wax Museum. They will share a shortened version of their god's story along with sharing his or her significance in nature and history.
For each god or goddess, students need to know:
- Greek name and title of the god, any important powers the god has, and where he/she lives
- Family/Relatives: parents, siblings (brothers/sisters), and children
- Physical appearance and symbols: description of what the god looked like and any weapons / objects / animals / other symbols associated with the god
- Summary of one important myth involving the god: a retelling of the major events in one myth, with a focus on the most important characteristics and powers of the god
- Any other interesting facts or identifying characteristics about the god
