Greek Myths: Supplemental Guide 3B | Demeter and Persephone 65- In today’s read-aloud you also heard that for six months of the
year, Persephone lived in the underworld and Demeter would
ignore all the crops on Earth. Which side of the image shows
this time of year? Tell your partner which adjectives you could
use to describe how Demeter might be feeling when she is not
with Persephone. Use this sentence frame: “Demeter is
when she is not with Persephone.” [Possible adjectives
are italicized in the chart.] - [Give each student an index card.] I will give each partner pair
a set of opposite adjectives. Talk to your partner about how
your adjectives are opposite. Then decide who will write or
draw which adjective on their index card. Later I will collect all
your cards and we can play an opposites matching game with
the cards you have created.
