    In an honors English class, students were assigned Greek gods or goddesses to research and write formal essays about. They had to describe the deity's powers, symbolism, family, and a major event. Students also made costumes and acted out scenes from the gods' stories. The student learned about their assigned goddess Hestia. They communicated their ideas by presenting in costume. Multiple drafts helped develop academic writing skills. Working together on costumes taught collaboration. Looking back, the student wishes they included more detail in their essay due to the wealth of information. They also would have spent more time designing their costume. Overall, completing this project expanded their knowledge and taught teamwork skills.

    Reflection: Greek Mythology Essay

    1.

    Please provide a detailed summary describing the artifact and its purpose.
    In my honors English class with Ms. Burnett we were given either a Greek god or goddess

    to research and conduct a formal essay about their story. We had to tell of what power they held
    and what they symbolized. We discussed their family lives and one main event in which they
    were popular for. After completing the essay and turning it in, the project also required us to
    make outfits and dress up as our given Greek god or goddess. As a whole class we acted out
    scenes from their storylines.

    2.

    Identify and list the GLPO(s) that were satisfied in completing this artifact. In

    addition, please explain how these GLPO(s) were met by specifically referring to the
    examples or evidence from the artifact. (Please specifically refer to the indicators within
    each domain, and do not simply state that you Took Action or Communicated Ideas.)
    There were many GLPO(s) that were satisfied in completing this artifact. I was able to
    investigate the world. I generated and explained a personal and societal significance of a locally,
    regionally and globally focused researchable topic. I did this by discussing the importance of a
    mythological character and how it represents and affects apart of our world today. I was also able
    to communicate my ideas effectively by presenting dressed up as my Greek goddess Hestia. This
    helped my audience understand better of who the Greek goddess was.

    3.

    What skills and concepts were learned throughout the process of completing this

    artifact?
    I learned a lot of skills and concepts throughout the process of completing this artifact.
    When researching about my Greek goddess I learned new knowledge I didnt know before. I was
    not aware much of the significance of mythology however, after doing this project I was able to
    appreciate the importance of this history. I gained academic skills for success through writing
    multiple outline and drafts of my essay. I also was gain the skills of working well together with
    other in order to present our costumes to an audience.

    4.

    Looking back on the process of completing this artifact, what might you do

    differently if you were able to recreate or revise the final product? How has process of
    completing this artifact positively affected your future?
    Looking back on the process of completing this artifact, if I was able to recreate and
    revise the final product I think I would have added more detail to my essay. It was only required
    to do minimum 500 words, however I felt like I had so much information to include but I was
    refrained due to the fact that I didnt have enough time to coherently organize multiple
    paragraphs. I think I also would have liked to spend more time designing my costume better.
    The process of completing this artifact has positively affected my future because I learned a lot
    of material as well as learned to work with others.
