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.  

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

Read Wonderopolis to help answer the question What is Greek Mythology? and gain background information about our new unit in Reading.

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:
