Greek Myth Project (Pandora's Box)
For my English 12 class, we did a unit on Greek Mythology. For this unit, we were required to research a Greek God or Goddess and do a project on them. For my project, I chose Pandora.
To explain Pandora and her story, I made an actual Pandora's Box. In the story, the box contains the evils of the world. After all of the evils were released, there was one good thing left and contained in the box. The evils are little ghosts that fly out of the box when she opens it. Since I could not put real ghosts in my box to represent the evils, I instead used different objects to represent each evil.
