Included in This Greek Mythology Unit:

➡️ Greek Mythology Teacher Presentations: Use these teacher presentations to guide your lessons.

➡️ Greek Gods Articles: The unit includes 15 articles, each focusing on one of the Greek gods or goddesses. The articles were written to hook students in with the most fascinating information about each of the gods. Integrated within each of the articles are popular Greek myths that will engage even your most reluctant readers.

➡️ Skills-Based Response Assignments: Dive deeper into analyzing the text and making connections with these 15 skills-based assignments related to each of the readings.  Students will have to look for text evidence, make text connections (self, text, world), examine language, respond creatively, and much more. Detailed answer keys are provided for reference and are also included in the teacher presentations.

➡️ Final Creative Project: Newspaper of the Gods: Students will imagine that they are a journalist in ancient Greece, and are responsible for sharing the news of the day with all the Greek gods and goddesses on Mt. Olympus. Students will integrate what they have learned throughout the unit to create a newspaper headline article, a local news article, a special interview, an advice column, and a comic strip.
