greek mythology & allusions
Start
Mythical Allusions
What are they? Allusions are references to things commonly talked about in our society. They are a reference to something famous, such as a well-known person, event, story, work of art, song, movie, or character. Using allusions help us to avoid long explanations and still make sense.

Mythical Allusions

Mythical Allusions
everyday example:
Trident Gum
poseidon's trident
The Greek God of the Sea, Poseidon, is known for carrying around his three pointed trident. The American Chicle company developed the first sugar free gum that had three enzymes in it that supposedly fought off cavities. So, they alluded back to the trident because it had three points and it was used for battle.

Today's Plan:
You are going to be put into groups. In your groups, you are going to read the Greek Mythology story you've been given. Then, you are going to explain the everyday allusion associated with it. For example: If your group was given "Poseidon's trident", you would read the story associated with it. Then, you would explain how his trident is related to trident gum (as seen on the previous page!). You will also find a picture for the visual learners!

Today's Plan:
1. Join the breakout room you've been sent to. 2. Open the padlet. 3. Select the story number based off of your BOR # (if you are in BOR 3, select story 3) 4. Have someone in your group read. 5. Fill out the Classkick together, page 1 6. Assign someone to share out when we come back to the main room - 15 mins. 7. Your person will share out. The rest of the class will complete page 3 in CK.
