Zeus Speaks
Questions
and Answers
You
ask the gods questions about his actions and his powers. Do not
ask a factual question you already know! Instead, ask a question
about the god's motivations, and show that YOU know the facts.
EG: Hades, did you consider your sister's feelings when you kidnapped
Persephone, her daughter? Did you consider the rest of us and
how cold it gets up here when Demeter is sad? This is a relatively
easy activity. To get full credit, you must ask at least three
good questions. You will do this activity once.
Step
One:
Log on to
the Zeus
Speaks web site . Click on the Unit/God you want to work
on. Click "Gallery of the Gods". Click "Talk to
X" (X= whichever god you're working on).Read the questions
already asked and answered. The gods will not answer repeat questions,
and you will not receive credit from me for them.
Step
Two:
In Microsoft
Word, compose your three questions. Spellcheck. Save in your
GALatin folder.
Step
Three:
Email the questions to me as an attachment.
My email address is lburnet. Your subject heading should read
"Q and A from Steve B." (but use your name!)
Step
Four:
On the Zeus site, Cut and Paste your question into the box on
the "Talk to X" page, give your name and school, and
click on the "Submit" button.
