Teacher Exemplar

The people of ancient Olympia were very proud to be Greek, but even more proud to be from their city of Olympia. Because the Greeks were so proud, I wrote pride using Greek letters. I also drew a thunder bolt on my shield to represent Zeus, the god of all gods. He was the patron god of Olympia and was believed to be born there, as well. Pegasus, a winged horse, transports thunderbolts to Zeus. Finally, I drew Mount Olympus, the home of the twelve Olympian Gods, which the Greeks believed was found about the mountain in the sky.

Developing Student Work- Shield

The chest mat represents cleverness and the moon and the stars represent spirit and honor. The spiral represents honesty and loyalty. 13/15 he also included a map of Ancient Greece on his paragraph that he turned in. 12Distinguished Student WorkMegaraThey are proud to be in a city-state like Megara.
