  10. 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.

  11. Developing Student Work- Shield Athens The Greek people wrote poems like poetry. The star represents the shine of star. The owl represents alpha. The people thought wisdom was great.

  12. Proficient Student Work The people of Argos are great musicians and poets and educated in arts and sciences. On my shield the dragonfly represents freedom and the Hydra represents peace and war. The chest mat represents cleverness and the moon and the stars represent spirit and honor. The spiral represents honesty and loyalty.

  13. Distinguished Student Work Megara They are proud to be in a city-state like Megara. The people of Megara are educated in art, science, and mathematics. There favorite thing is money. The crow stands for intelligence that Megarians have. The book stands for schooling, the planet represents their great knowledge for science, and their textiles stand for their glorious city-state. The Megarians are proud to be who they are. The god that they worship is Apollo the god of music, and so the music symbol represents him.
