Teachers can guide students in creating visual summaries of myths, analyzing characters like Zeus or Athena, and comparing themes across stories.

This resource is perfect for making Greek mythology lessons more interactive and accessible for diverse learners.

Students choose a Greek myth and retell it using the storyboard format on the website. They illustrate key events, add dialogue, and annotate with explanations of themes or morals. This activity reinforces comprehension and encourages creativity. Students create trading cards for Greek gods, goddesses, and heroes. Each card can include the character's name, powers, symbols, relationships, and key myths. This introduces students to the pantheon in a fun and interactive way. Challenge students to create a modern adaptation of a Greek myth. For example, what would Persephone's story look like in a contemporary urban setting? Students can create a storyboard comparing two characters, such as Zeus and Hades or Athena and Ares. They analyze their traits, roles in myths, and symbolic meanings, providing visual evidence for their analysis.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

The "Commemorative Observances Legal Research Guide" from the Library of Congress provides a valuable resource for exploring the legal framework and history behind commemorative observances in the United States. It includes information on federal laws, presidential proclamations, and public laws establishing official observances such as holidays, awareness months, and significant anniversaries. The guide offers links to key legal documents, historical context, and research tips, making it an excellent tool for teachers designing lessons on civic education, American history, or government. Its accessible format helps students and educators better understand how national observances are legally and culturally recognized.
In the Classroom
Assign students to investigate how a commemorative observance becomes official, from public advocacy to federal laws or presidential proclamations. They can use examples from the guide, such as the creation of Juneteenth as a federal holiday. Students can then write a short essay or give a presentation explaining the process. Use the guide's links to access examples of presidential proclamations for national observances. Assign students to analyze one proclamation, examining its language, tone, and purpose. They can summarize its main points and discuss why such proclamations are significant. Challenge students to select and research a lesser-known commemorative observance (ex., National Hispanic Heritage Month or Constitution Day) using the guide. Students can also create these presentations using a resource such as Google Slides, reviewed here or Padlet, reviewed here.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
