This file is designed for a mythology social networking activity. Students choose a character and design a user profile for "Mythbook." This file includes an example of a profile for Ares (the only god I didn't particularly want my students to profile because the possibilities are fairly one-dimensional). The worksheet can be altered by the students on the computer or it can be completed by hand. I have my students create hard copies of the profiles and draw user pictures and gifts.

My eighth grade students use this Family Tree Chart as we read the first section of D'Aulaire's Book of Myths to keep track of relationships between characters. We chart from the beginning of the universe down to the 12 Olympians. They have a hard time conceptualizing the family tree without this diagram. The first section of the file is a copy of my answer key. The second page is the blank chart that the students use.
