CREATE YOUR OWN GOD/GODDESS

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a god or goddess of your own? The ancient Greeks created their gods and goddesses to help them explain many of the occurrences in their daily lives or to explain why certain things in nature were the way they were.

For this project, you will be able to create your own god or goddess to represent something that is important to you-a sport, a hobby, an idea, an experience, etc. Use the gods and goddesses we have already read about to guide you through this process. Think about the symbols associated with them, the relationships they have, and the activities they pursue.

❖ Picture portion where you will either draw, create digitally, mold, or find another way to represent your god(dess).

❖ Written portion where you will explain the answers to several questions about your god(dess) in paragraph form. This should be typed. Neatness, spelling, grammar, and creativity count as well. Be sure to name your god(dess) too!
