Heroes for Hire: Creating Modern Day HeroesApplying Greek Mythology to Today
Over the next few days, you will work in groupings of your own choosing to create a hero who would exist in modern day. He or she should possess the characteristics common to all heroes as reviewed in class.
  • usually not nice people
  • tendency to be selfish
  • ususally a demi-god (1/2 god, 1/2 human)
  • went on quests
  • possessed particular strengths and weaknesses

In your chosen groupings, you will create an advertisement of some sort offering your hero’s abilities to the community (a hero for hire if you will). You may do so in any medium (e.g.- a resume/cover letter, Facebook page, commercial (video or live), newspaper ad (full page), magazine ad (full page)).

Complete your brainstorming sheets, show them to me, and then work on your final product. Have fun!! :)
