Greek Mythology

In the WebQuest you will learn Greek Mythology, and how to apply it to your everyday life using some of the morals from the stories. 

In groups of 3 you will choose a Greek story that uphold to your group's morals. You will then have to use the website Audacity to record the story with you group members, and present it in class. 

After finding your group you need to:

1) Find moral(s) that everyone in your group strives to depict in everyday life

2) Find a Greek Myth from your readings in D'Aulaires' Book of Greek Myths that upholds to those morals 

3) Meet with your group and record your greek myth on Audacity 

4) Write a one page response as to why you chose these morals, and how you will execute these in your everyday life

**Your Audcaity audio MUST include everyone's voice, and the entirety of your story**

Your grade is based on:

1) Group participation (10%)

2) Does the story depict the morals your group chose? (20%)

3) Short response (30%)

4) Presenting the audio (30%)

5) Does everyone in the group talk in the audio? (10%)

The goal of this WebQuest was to help you understand the motives the Greeks had for these stories, and using them like we use our own childhood stories. As a way to teach children, and adults right from wrong (morality). After this webquest it is assumed that you will have better presentation skills, and skills when working in groups to be enhanced. Greek Mythology constantly asks you what the difference from right or wrong is, here we are just trying to figure out what YOU think the "right" way of living is, or what your "morals" are.
