Who Are the Greek Gods?

Our first film of the year will be Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief.
However, before we watch this film, we will need to develop an
understanding of who the Greek gods were, and what they were
responsible for.

You will be responsible for researching one Greek god, and creating a
brief 2-3 minute presentation about that god. Things you must include
in your presentation include:

1. Greek and Roman name of your god

2. Responsibilities / powers of your god
3. How your god was born
4. Other interesting qualities, stories, achievements

You may work individually, partners, or groups of no more than 3 for

this assignment. Possible formats for the presentation include:

Google Slide
Prezi
Powtoon
Skit
Video
Anything else (See me first)

You will be given ample class time to work on this assignment. Anything
not finished in class will be assigned for homework.
