Day 1 Initial Activity

God - Goddess – Mythical Creature Creation

After looking over the display and looking at a couple books and exploring some websites students will have the opportunity to create a representation of a god, goddess or mythical creature. Students will be expected to choose a god/goddess/creature that they will be able to compare to the others and explain why theirs is the better one.

There are some examples listed below. You will need to print out the templates for the students to use.

The materials needed are templates from[| http://www.dltk-kids.com/world/greece/index.htm]

They will also create a scroll using two paper towel tubes and construction paper. The scroll will be used to write down information on their god, goddess, or creature in the next sessions. This information will be used in a debate over which god, goddess or creature is the best.

__ Scroll Materials __ 2 paper towel tubes Construction Paper Yarn/Ribbon Glue

Crumple up the construction paper then lay it flat. Glue one paper towel tube to each end of the paper. Roll the paper up around each tube until it meets in the middle. Tie the yarn around the scroll to hold it closed. On the flat side of the scroll glue the yarn in place so that when you untie it the yarn will stay with the scroll.
