Following are the ideas I received on my request for help with a mythology project. I have to send the file in two parts. I am just finishing a project with an 8th grade. The teacher gave them each a word derived from mythology (greek and roman) like vulcanize or martial. Then the kids must look in a dict. for the origin of the word and the god it came from. They must then locate the myth the that person is most known for. They then had to analyze the myth according to some guidelines she set out (kind of standard--characters, problem, resolutions, etc.)They will then present the myth to the class. Have you considered having the students produce newspapers (front page only) on classical Greece/Rome? Diary entries by various mythological characters? interested in using the Internet? I'm one of the people on KidsConnect (through ERIC) and one of the quetions I had to answer involved using the Interent to find full text sources of myths on the Internet. If you would like anyof the information I found, just let me know. You could check out the sites and see if any of them appealed to you and/or your teacher. Deborah Stafford Gen H.H.
