Yesterday in a thrilling selection process, each student was assigned a titan, olympian, or monster child. Today, on Water for Sixth Grade, you are going to get to know your new "friend." You will be giving a speech pretending to be your character from Greek Mythology in the coming week. Before you can give your speech, you need to learn about your character. We will be using this blog assignment to start to learn about your character. For this blog post, it will be similar to what did with the Nile River: have a conversation. You need to put on your "creativity" caps and pretend you are having a conversation with the character you selected. Pretend you are standing on the street, and all of a sudden up walks Zeus or Poseidon, or whoever you have selected. You are going to have a conversation with them. You will "talk" to your character as if you know nothing about them. Since you are going to pretend to be them for your speech, this is a great opportunity to talk to your character and learn about them. You need to format your conversation with quotation marks.Task: You will have a pretend conversation with the character you selected. In the conversation, you will ask that character questions to learn about them for your speech. Use the websites I have posted for you to learn about your character. You must ask your character at least 5 questions for this conversation.
Points: 5 Points per question. Total of 25 points for this blog assignment.
