Summary
We like to fool people and the best way to do that is with great inferences. After studying several Greek myths, students pick one character that they believe they know the most about. The students go back into the passages and select clues that they use to create inferences. The students then select an online tool of their choice and create inferences about their character. The pictures/comics are submitted online and placed on a website. Students then evaluate each other’s projects and guess who each character is based on their prior knowledge of the myths.
