Anchors Away Monday: Greek Gods and Goddesses

My anchor chart today focuses on 

Greek gods and goddesses.

I have loved Greek mythology ever since eighth grade when my language arts teacher conducted a nine-week-long Greek mythology unit.  I was fascinated with the gods and their antics!  A man who eats his own children and then regurgitates them years later?  (Cronus)  Siblings who marry?  (Zeus & Hera and Aphrodite & Hephaestus are just a couple!)  A daughter who is born by springing forth from her father's forehead fully clad with armor?  (Athena)  These ancient stories were unlike anything I had ever read before and I was enthralled.  Fast forward thirty-ish years... and I'm still captivated by Greek mythology!

I have found that students still really enjoy mythology!  However, keeping all the gods and goddesses straight can be challenging.  
Enter... my anchor chart for this week!

A few months ago, I combined my love for Greek mythology with my new found love with writing partner plays, and I created the following two sets:

Last week I decided to write a brand-new FREE partner play script to accompany this blog post!  Please feel free to download it and use it with your students!  

 For those of you who facilitate a large Greek mythology unit, I encourage you to check out my friend, Dawn's, TpT store (Purple Palmetto)!  She has created 27 different Greek mythology items, including Bingo, "I have... Who has...?", trading cards, task cards, tests, and more!

Nicole Shelby also has created four fantastic Greek mythology resources!

A weekly linky party to showcase and share ideas for effective and engaging anchor charts!

Anchors Away Monday Rules:

1. Post one photo of an anchor chart to your blog on Mondays.
2. Add as much or as little background information as you want.  (We all know a great anchor chart can speak for itself!)
3. Does it need to be your own anchor chart?  NO!  If you find a great one on Pinterest that you would like to blog about, go for it!  (Just be sure to give credit to the original author!)
4. Add the Anchors Away Monday Linky image to your post and link back to my blog.  Then link up with us on my blog to join in the fun!
