Students will participate in a role-playing game that allows them to experience various parts of Greek Mythology as a young demi-god living at Camp Half-Blood. The quest of each hero/heroine will be to raise their ability stats and collect items as much as possible until their final test of defeating the cyclops, Polyphemus. Hour #1: Students will fully create their demi-god character on the character sheet. They will choose a Greek God/Goddess as their parent. They will receive special items and choose their abilities. Finally, they will earn a mythical creature as a pet. Hour #2: The characters will journey to the island of Polyphemus to retrieve the Thermos of Winds. You will be confronted with dangers and challenges while on the island. If you are successful in obtaining the Thermos of the Winds and defeating Polyphemus, you may earn the praise of your Olympian parents. This is a role-playing game with some similarities in format to other role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons. I have chosen to do it in a much more simplified format so that the class would still be focused on gaining more knowledge in Greek Mythology.
Learning Goals
The goal of our lesson is to experience some of the adventures that happen in Greek Mythology. If the student has knowledge of Greek Mythology, their hero/heroine will make wise decisions in the different encounters. If the student has not read Greek Mythology, they will encounter new monsters, gods/goddesses, and places. Every student will receive all the information they need to make the best decision for their hero/heroine.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Mythology often has a lot of violence and death due to their stories centered around war, heroes vs. monsters, impossible quests, and jealous gods/goddesses.
