Artemis | Diana of the Hunt Greek and Roman Mythology Series Grades 8-11

Who is Artemis (Or, Diana)? In her mature form, Artemis is the Olympian goddess of the hunt. She shares some characteristics with her twin brother Apollo. However, Artemis is unique in her own right and probably predates Apollo in terms of the cultic status of this deity. She likely originated as a river or vegetation goddess. Utilize the resources to design a lesson, facilitate an activity, evaluate student progress, or prepare for writing activities. Refer to the Further Reading guide for additional inspiration and ideas.

Frayer Model Vocabulary Cards
- Frayer models are a way to get kids to think about vocabulary visually in a four-section square —- A square for meaning, one for examples, another for non-examples, and a sketch. It is amazing to see the work they produce. A great way to decorate your classroom to showcase your kids’ vocabulary-in-text understanding. The cards contain terms, geography, and challenging words (as well as contextual entries that fit the story).

Answer Keys for all student-facing documents

I created this resource with high school students in mind. It is designed for an English Language Arts Mythology unit —

Encourage students to talk about female goddesses, the role of women, women as symbols of nature, and fertility in art and literature.
Compare and contrast characteristics of the gods and goddesses in World Literature and Mythology.
Use this resource as a stand-alone lesson or, pair it with a larger unit on early Greek myths, primordial stories, Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, Robert Graves’s Greek Myths, Ovid’s Metamorphoses, or Edith Hamilton’s Mythology.
