Research 3 Steps:
1) The first step in this assignment is to research your chosen character. You will keep this research as notes on a Google Doc and that will be turned in to your teacher.
2) It is vitally important to cite where you found all of your information. It is alright to use information from other people, but it is stealing not to credit them as the source of that knowledge.
3) The third step will be to use that information to create your costume, decorate your shield and create your myth.
IMPORTANT: You are researching a culture from thousands of years ago. Some of the things that the Greeks thought were perfectly fine things to say and do are not things that we would think are OK. As an example we do not have a naked Olympics. In addition we are studying the adults in that culture and even now adults do things that young people should not do and young people would rather not know about. When you are researching if you find information or pictures that are inappropriate please just close that page and do not include that information in your research. While your teachers have done their best to check the links we provide you with there is no way we can insure that they are all appropriate. If you research beyond our links you will definitely find some links that are inappropriate.
