  The Lesser Known Gods  Mythology Unit  Final Project

To bring this unit to a close, we will have an opportunity to introduce to our class the gods, goddess or creatures that haven’t been as popular as the others, but very well may deserve a spot on Mount Olympus. On the day of presentations, you will come to class accompanied by a 3-D model of a god you have designed and created using the recipe on the back of this sheet. You will have prepared a presentation for the class to tell them all about him or her. He/she will have a name, a biography or life story just like Zeus and his family, and a favorite story about a time when something happened in his/her life which affected life as we know it. Your model should be creative and colorful, matching your description. You will turn in a paper summarizing your presentation that is typed and uses correct mechanics. Use the rubric to be sure you have included all the bare minimum information and let your imagination soar adding whatever (appropriate) details you can think of beyond that!
