Greek Gods and Goddesses

Idea: Using the iPad iMovie (4.99 in app store) to create depictions of the Greek Gods and Goddesses

Goal: Apply the notes on Greek and Roman Gods and Goddesses

Student Need To: Portray the God or Goddess they were assigned without using their name at ANY point in the Movie Trailer

Students Were Graded On: Title of their Movie, Theme they chose to represent their god or goddess (i.e. Hades = Scary, Dionysus = Retro; Aphrodite = Romance), Acting, Subtitles, Costume, and then Overall Depiction of the God or Goddess being shown

   The project took 45 minutes for each group for three days to be working on them.  On the fourth day we spent time watching all of the videos in class, talking about the god or goddess they were portraying and then who they were in the Roman context versus the Greek.  This was not only an great student centered project, but it had students applying the knowledge of the gods and goddesses they learned in class and then also served as a review for them the day before the quiz.
