Greek God/Goddess of the Day: Hera 
Write a story of a character who is envious or jealous of another person or thing.

We are changing up our daily writing prompt for the next couple of weeks.  Each day we are going to learn about a different Greek God or Goddess.  For each God/Goddess I have identified a specific character trait that describes them and created a writing prompt based on that character trait.  The writing prompt is at the bottom of the slide.


God/Goddess of the Day: Zeus 
Write a story about a character with omnipotent  power.   How would they act, look or speak?

We are starting a unit on mythology.  Tell us what you already know about the topic.

I would like to know more about you as a Reader. 😀 What do you like to read? Do you like to read in front of people or does that make you nervous? What is your favorite book? Attached you will find a Google Doc with these questions and more. Please complete the survey with as much detail as you can. You can complete it during the summer or on the first day of school.

When completing the survey:
1. Use complete sentences for the short answers. A complete sentence begins with a capital letter, has a full thought, and ends with punctuation (. ? !).
2. After writing a sentence, read it back to yourself. Does it make sense? If not correct it.
3. Check your spelling. The great part of typing online is that the program will help point out misspelled words. If a word is spelled wrong - correct it!
