Ancient Greece Cartoons

I added this bonus question to my Ancient Greece Test and was so impressed by the results. The creativity and detail tells me that the students are not only creative but engaged for the stories we tell. They remembered details of Greek Legends that rivaled their knowledge of battles, dates and leaders.

I love that this visual intelligence brought out knowledge that I otherwise would not have known was there!

Here is a sampling of the cartoons, as well as the original test:
