My Greek god is better than yours!!!

Objectives:
1) research a Greek god's influence in ancient Greece
2) demonstrate research through a structured debate style tournament


Day 1


Step 1: Claim which Greek god you want to research and defend during your debate. Tell Mr. H your choice (first come first serve basis). Click here for a website to help you decide which Greek god you want to research. Click here and use netTrekker.

Step 2: Research your god and take notes from FIVE CREDIBLE SOURCES. Wikipedia is not a credible source.
