Term 3 Homework Project for years 3 – 6
Last term we are reading Percy Jackson & The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan. The project will be a series of tasks based on the book as well as Greek mythology.
There are 12 tasks and 6 weeks to complete the project. That means that students should do 2 tasks per week to stay on track.
The project is due Friday 4th September.
Students may present their project in a number of ways. They may make a slideshow presentation of their tasks, which can be emailed to me, [email protected] , or saved onto a usb drive and handed in to me, or uploaded onto Edmodo or via the share page in our classroom website. Projects can be presented on cardboard. Tasks can be completed on paper and handed in. Tasks may be typed and printed, or handwritten.
1. Design your own Greek vase showing a scene from The Lightning Thief.
Remember when we looked at the greek art on the vases at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York? You can look at it again here: Greek Art at The MET
2. Make a list of Gods & Goddesses and what they are the god of.
Try this website for some information.
3. Find out about the money used in Ancient Greece.

4. Copy out the Greek alphabet. How would you write your name using the Greek alphabet?
The Greek alphabet can be found here...
5. Find the name of the matching Roman Gods.
For example Zeus is the Greek King of the gods and Jupiter is the Roman King of the Gods.
Use the Greek Gods and Goddesses site.
6. If you were a Greek god or goddess, which one would you be? Explain why and what you would do.
7. Imagine that you are staying at Camp Half Blood for a week. Write a journal of your week there.
8. Look up 2 ancient Greek ruins. Print some pics and list some facts about them. Where is it? When was it built? What was it used for?

11. Make a list of as many books or movies as you can, which also contain Greek mythology. Why not try using IMDb or Book Depository?
12. Predict what would happen if a Zeus appeared at our school.
Would he be friendly or aggressive? Would we keep it a secret or tell people about it? What would he do to us? What is his reason for being there?
