Mythology Unit

We have started our mythology unit. Students are researching topics to include on their mythology project. Each student chose a god, goddess, creature or mythical character to research. I have provided a packet with the information that they need. They can do additional research at home. They have an option to create a power point, cube, poster or trading cards. They also have the option of working with one other person. I included a rubric in their Mythology packet so they will know exactly what I am looking for.
