“Wanted Poster”

Transitions Re-read your paragraph Look for areas where you may have written phrases like: “This quote proves my point because…” “This text evidence is relevant because…” Then, cross out those phrases entirely, and replace with a transition word! (Use writer’s notebook) YOU NEED TWO TRANSITIONS

“Wanted Poster” Objective: Make a claim about how from our myths in the Second Theme of Greek Mythology is the guiltiest mortal in all of Greece for committing the sin of hubris. Directions: Write a paragraph, using text evidence, that supports your claim. Create a “wanted poster” for your chosen mortal Requirements: Include on your poster: your paragraph, a picture (drawn or found online), the second theme of Greek mythology. Have fun with other “Greek related details” (see next slide) Due date: Beginning of class on Wednesday, January 18

Greek Related Details (Additional Ideas) Add a reward (ex: opportunity to dine on Mt. Olympus, bottled ambrosia, drachmas) Add a section for “what their punishment might be” Add a phone number to all (ex: 1800-Athene-Police) Add a physical description of your mortal (what might they be seen wearing?) Get creative where you can!

Perspectives Your paragraph will be a formal paragraph Do not use personal pronouns such as: I, me, my The rest of your “poster” is open to more creativity Perhaps Athene or another god/goddess created the poster Perhaps a Greek police officer created the poster
