World history art work

Mrs. Bias' third and forth block world history classes got creative and came up with their own Greek God's; they drew these in response to studying Greek religion. Students were prompted with the following question: If you were a Greek god what would you be like? On this assignment, students were required to name their Greek god and write an explanation of the powers and purpose of their god.  Each had to have a symbol or weapon and had to rule over a certain area of life.  Mrs. Bias feels that creative activities such as these engage students to think on a higher level.  She also thinks it makes learning more memorable. The following are the responses she received.


Theatress
"Theatress is the goddess of theater. Her purpose is to guide the direction of productions and make sure they run smoothly. She has the ability to grant people talent by singing to them while they are sleeping.  She places the comedy mask on your face and wears the tragedy mask to transfer talent."
