This inquiry-based project will allow students to choose a Greek Hero and compare him to a modern day hero based on the qualities of their particular hero. This includes a rubric, assignment sheet, and a timeline for the project in order for students to break tasks down into simpler parts.
Who is a Greek hero who was important to the classical era and why were they important?
What does it mean to be heroic in the Greek era? How does this compare to today’s definition of what it means to be heroic?
Who is a modern day hero (can be fictional or real) whom we revere as a culture and is easily paralleled with my chosen hero?
