III-PROCEDURE

   
  A. PRELIMINARIES

1. Drill
   -  The teacher will show a slideshow of pictures depicting the characters of the previous lesson (Norse       Mythology)
   -  The teacher will ask the students if they could name the person or character in the picture as the             slide show progresses.    
   -  Who is the person in the picture?
   -  What is his or her role?
2. Review
   -  The teacher will ask the students what the past lesson was all about. (Norse Mythology)
   -  The teacher will ask a few of the students to name the Nordic mythological character he or she             relates with the most and why.
3. Motivation (Video Analysis)
   - The teacher will show via the projector a short video about the gods and goddesses of Greek              Mythology
   - The teacher will then ask the students if they are familiar with any of the characters of the video and      how they are able to identify them.
   - Do you know any of the characters in the video?
   - What key factor or feature made you conclude that it was the character you know of?
   - The teacher will ask the students if they have figured out the topic that will be discussed at the              present session.

  B. PRESENTATION

1. Activity Proper
   
   - After the video presentation, the teacher will proceed to the slideshow presentation presenting the                 various gods and goddesses of Greek Mythology
   - The slideshow will also include the origins of the various gods and goddesses while the teacher asks              the students what they know (stock knowledge) about the god or goddess currently shown in              the slideshow.
   - The teacher will then post manila papers on the board on which names of the major gods and                        goddesses are pasted.
   - The students will then be tasked to paste onto the manila paper of their choice an item, or an image                given to them by the teacher which they believe to be used to identify that certain deity.
   - The class will altogether identify if the items were matched correctly with the picture of the deity or if              the picture does not match the name under which it is posted.
2. Analysis
   - Who are the Major Olympians or gods of Greek Mythology?
   - The Olympians are namely:   Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Demeter, Athena, Apollo, Artemis, Ares, Aphrodite, Hephaestus, Hermes and either Hestia, or Dionysus.
3. Abstraction
   - Is learning about the gods of other people important?
   - How will knowing about other gods help us to become better Christians?
   - Are there any similarities between the gods of Olympus and Jesus Christ? What are those?
4. Application
   - After the discussion, the students will then group themselves into 12 and assume roles as the 12 Olympians and use anything they can find around the classroom to represent the role or task they perform in Greek mythology.

IV-EVALUATION

     In a whole sheet of paper, the students will be tasked to give at least 4 deities of both Norse and Greek Mythologies that they believe to share the same qualities, values and/or roles.    

        

V-ASSIGNMENT
