9. You and your group: 1.First, you need to all know which Greek god you will be writing your paper about. 2.Now you all need to agree which individual projects you will be working on. (Remember, each of you must do a different assignment.)

10. Back to the paper – decide which path you will follow Dividing up research 1.Who is researching the god’s general information? 2.Who is researching this god’s role or duties? 3.Who is researching this god’s role in the Odyssey (not all the gods are involved?) Dividing up the duties 1.Who is doing the researching? 2.Who is doing the writing? 3.Who is doing the editing and citations? (I will help with citations?) Dividing up the writing 1.Who is writing the introduction? 2.Who is writing the body? 3.Who is writing the conclusion?
