Mythological Creatures
Raol (Ray-ool) and his aquaintences are mythological creatures. They would like to be friends, but they aren't quite caught up to date with each other's racial facts. Pompidou is a Cerberus, Raol is a Griffin, Sentry is a Minotaur, Lichen (Lich-n) is a Hydra, Saren is a Werewolf, and Terra is a Golem.
Follow along with them and research to help them find more information on each other.
Four activities inside this webquest will guide you through your objectives. Follow intructions, and you will get a great grade!
You Must Complete four tasks given by your mythological friends. If you do them right, they will learn a fact from each task completed. If you do them wrong, then they will have no clue who is who.
Activity 1: Math/Word Problems
Activity 2: Powerpoint/Researching
Activity 3: Writing/LA/Researching
Activity 4: Art/Researching
1) Activity One. Subject: Math.
Problem 1: Lichen is counting his heads. With the information that, if one of the heads are cut off, two more will grow back, create a math problem with the amount of h (heads) Lichen will have if something happens to two of his current heads.
Problem 2: Pompidou has gathered twenty of his friends. They each have three heads. With this information, how many heads do they all have together?
Problem 3: Sentry is counting his warhammer. He has 120 of them. If he divided that betweeen five of his friends, including himself, (Still five), how many do each of them get?
Problem 4: Raol is testing how far he can fly. Terra is helping him. If she takes off 37 points because he performs a flight posistion wrong, then what is his score, deducted from 100?
2) Activity two. Subject: Powerpoint.Choose Raol or one of his friends who you'd like to learn about. Create a powerpoint that answers all five of these questions:1: Who created the creature's myth?2: Where did the myth start? In other words, what is the myth's origin?3: Include facts and trivia about your selected myth.4: Did the name of your selected myth be made for a reason? If so, what did they name if after?5: What is the most interesting thing you found out about your myth? In other words, why did you choose this myth? Explain.
3) Activity three. Subject: Writing. Choose another creature, a different one that you chose for the powerpoint. Write a short story on that creature that you make up.
4) Activity four. Subject: Art.Choose, yet again, another different creature. Research photos of it on the internet. Once you have a good idea of what it looks like, draw it without a picture to look at. Draw the creature on a seperate piece of paper, WITH a picture to look at. Compare the two. Which one looks better? Why do you think so?
