My Greek Myth

Teardrops as Rain . The wind blew a gentle breeze as adoring women watched that boastful man, Nereus, climb the highest tree, Zeus’s sacred one. Helios’s chariot was high in the air and going strong. However, the heavy frame of Nereus couldn’t climb upon the fragile branches for long. A branch cracked, causing Nereus to fall The wind started howling and the shocked girls ran away. The sky darkened with leaves rustling in the air. The air was whipping Nereus. Lighting lit up the sky and a voice boomed so loud that Nereus fell backward again. “You have disrupted this special place. You were boasting to make wood nymphs love you, so from now on you shall never be able to make another mortal fall in love with you!” Zeus boomed and thunder crackled. “Be gone!” Zeus yelled and Nereus did run. With his whole body twitching with fear. From that day, he hadn’t boasted again.    *** Hephaestus, god of forgery, tried, he truly did. He ma...

Water Project- Weeks 1-4

Image
Week 1: Last weekend Jordyn, Lane, and I started making our flyers, and then we printed them out. We rolled it up, and tied it up with blue string, after that we went strolling in my friends' neighborhood, and put the flyers in the mailboxes. People started asking us on what we were doing so we got to tell them. After that, we started to plan out and do last minute checking on the presentations for lower grades. Week 2: This week has worked out really well. We got all of the planning and creating completed. We have multiple presentations coming up now. We have a bake sale coming up. And we are ready! The previous week we had given out flyers to Jordyn's neighborhood to spread awareness. This may have worked in some places but not others. This week, since we know that we have already done the flyers, we decided that we needed to start on the presentations and little pamphlets to hand out. I started working on the presentations at home on school days. We all worked on d...

Greek Activity Reflection

Greek Activities Reflection 2015 Think about your participation and involvement during the six meetings of your Greek Activity. Thoughtfully complete the reflection below. Did I work cooperatively with my group? Below Approaching Meets Exemplary Here are some examples that displayed how I worked cooperatively with my group. Me and my group were extreme temple makeover, and we had to design, assemble, paint and bring our temple to life in just six 70 minute sessions! It was quite a task and we barely finished. At the designing stage, we all had a temple in our minds, and we all had moments were we agreed or disagreed. So we really had to work together in our group of four to make sure that the temple was perfect for everyone. And our temples were really different. One was imaged as a temple for Zeus (lightning bolts) while the other was Aphrodite (flowers and hearts). You get the picture. At the assembling stage, it was difficult to carve cardboard and get everyt...

My Fakebook Project

What if the old gods and goddesses from their old myths found a way to spice things up? Found a new way to spice things up? Like something modern. Almost like Facebook, except it’s Fakebook? What would they do? Imagine what could happen... Okay, maybe you don’t need to imagine, because I already took it to the next level. I created and account and posted the scenes of my myth in a more modern way. My goddess is Persephone, maiden of spring and queen of the Underworld. I used the Greek myth “The Kidnapping”. Persephone is a delicate and beautiful girl, who loves her family a lot. In her account, she is an excited and bubbly teenager who is very perky. Same thing, right? This would most likely be the modern version of her because Persephone doesn’t seem to be the type who get sad or angry. I tell Persephone’s side of her myth through the multiple posts I make. Sometimes I add in other characters with parts of their myths or I put a little bit of the other characters’ perspectives thro...
