Your task is to create a PowerPoint on one of the Greek gods or goddesses. You will choose one god or goddess from the list in the process tab of this Webquest and research this god or goddess. You must work in a group of 2 or 3, no more, no less. In your PowerPoint, you must include the following information:

  • The name of the god/goddess
  • What they are god/goddess of
  • A description of what they look like
  • Why this god/goddess is important
  • One interesting story from their life
  • A family tree of the gods/goddesses

Once you have completed your PowerPoint you each need to write a digital reflection on the Google Doc that I have provided for the class. In this reflection you will compare and contrast the Greek god or goddess that you chose with a person from this century (this can be a family member, friend, celebrity, etc.). Please be creative and keep your responses appropriate.
