Description

This product tells the myth of Hades and Persephone and how the seasons came. It describes how Persephone was abducted by Hades, how Demeter would not allow crops to grow while Persephone was missing, how Zeus intervened and a compromise was reached, and how the seasons came to be.

A PDF worksheet, a link to download the worksheet in Google Slides, an optional worksheet with ten multiple-choice questions, an answer key, and a link to download the questions as a Google Form are all included.

At the end of the text, there are three extended response questions:

1. Do you think that Zeus was acting in his daughter's best interest? Why or why not?

2. In your opinion, is Demeter justified in letting nothing grow while her daughter was away?

3. Is Persephone spending part of each year in the Underworld a fair compromise? Why or why not?

Extended responses can vary, so there is no answer key for those.
