Greek Mythology
Created by K Crossley & M Rehbehn 12/22/10
For this project you will be exploring how the ancient Greeks used mythology to explore and explain nature; to honor heroes; and to teach a lesson or moral. You will also focus on how a selected myth relates to modern times. To convey your research you will be creating a glog, which is an online interactive poster, and including specific required information. You will also cite your sources, both data and image sources, in NoodleTools. That completed bibliography must be included on your glog.
