Burnett provides descriptions and directions for two projects; one involves researching a single god or goddess and the other is part of a nine-week online course called "Zeus Speaks." Project components include creative writing, oral presentations, trivia contests, and original artwork. As infrastructure for each Olympus project, Burnett furnishes project instructions, requirements, grading procedures, and a list of tools and resources students can use to complete their projects.
