Greek Mythology Lapbooks

The kids were anxiously anticipating Greek Mythology ever since they heard we'd be covering it this year. But I stuck with our Classical curriculum and we enjoyed everything even more ancient before we worked our way here.

And Story of the World only had one small chapter on Greek Mythology!

So I decided we needed to make lapbooks, and spend 2 whole weeks on it. Thanks to Rick Riordan, we LOVE Greek Mythology. :)

I gave the kids some options on how they wanted to create their own lapbooks. And I am actually quite thrilled with how they turned out. There's some personality coming through here.

3 is 6 years old, and technically a 1st grader. He likes drawing comics.

And he colored the Greek gods family tree and created his own Greek gods trading cards.
He also drew additional pictures of Medusa and Poseidon.
2 is almost 9 years old and a 3rd grader. He created trading cards for the Greek gods . . .
. . . and for the Titans. (And cut out his own Greek gods family tree.)
He also colored some additional pictures and wrote an invitation to a party on Mount Olympus.
#1 is 10 and a 5th grader. She wrote out her own copy of the family tree, created a few news clips and an advertisement for Aphrodite's salon, and wrote a correspondence between Apollo, Artemis and Aphrodite.
And she created her own Greek gods trading cards.
We had so much fun with this!
