1.  General review of titles, traits, and symbols associated with the Olympians.

2.  List jobs found in our world today; be as specific as possible.   (unlimited possibilities -- try for at least 50 - 60 jobs.)

3.  On sentence strips, have students write down these jobs.

4.  On long strips of bulletin board paper, have students write the names of the Olympians at one end; affix these papers to the classroom wall or, if permitted, to the hall walls, either with wood strips and thumbtacks or staples or with hot glue.

5.  Divide jobs among 4 -5 groups of at least 3 -4 students.  Through discussion and knowledge of the Olympians, students should decide which Olympians would have each job; note to students that some jobs can be related to more than one Olympian.  Students then tape each job to the appropriate Olympian's wall strip.

6.  After all jobs have been posted, as a class, discuss the jobs under each Olympian.  Include any disagreements to postings along with reason for objection and any posting that might follow other Olympians, again, with reasons.

Good review of Olympians, their titles, their symbols, and other related information from stories.
