Interview with Poseidon – God of the Oceans
General guidelines:
-Create a bibliography for any sources that you do use. You can use any style (Chicago, APA etc.), but be consistent.
-Use primary sources whenever possible. This is not a research essay, so you can use internet for sources, but make sure to include all sources in your bibliography.
-Do not use any direct quotations. Use your own words to re-tell the myths. Try to adhere to the general storyline of the myths as much as possible.
-Choose a style of writing that suites your subject (humor, slang, academic etc.)
-You can be creative when “designing” your assignment. Use pictures if you like and format the page as you see fit.
Introduction:
Assignments (Option 1 and 3) should include an introduction (introducing the background information of the character/myth). For Option 2, the introduction can be a part of the question (Aphrodite option) or a brief introduction to who the character was (Hades option)
Organization of the Main Body:
The main body of the narrative is well organized. Story elements are not repeated (unless it is to further the narrative). Topics flow smoothly from one to the next
Conclusion:
The narrative should be resolved at the end of your paper. Option 1 must include a verdict. Option 2 should end with a summary of the advice given (Aphrodite) or a concluding remark about the character’s life (Hades). Option 3 should give a conclusion to the interview.
Elements of Myth:
Stories should stick to one version of the myth being told, and be sourced appropriately. The story elements used are clear and developed. Source the version of the myth being used.
