Looking for something to engage your students in Greek mythology? Give them this retelling of the classic tale of Persephone and Demeter! In this activity, the students will be taking on roles of story characters who text about the whole situation!

Directions: Below is a retelling of the Persephone and Demeter story you've already familiar with. Please read through it carefully and respond to the prompts as directed.
