Another thought on Roman Gods

Another thought on Roman gods is that it would be good to know thier Greek counter parts being that they are basically the same gods with different names in most cases.
Jupiter=Zues
Juno=Hera
Mars=Ares
Minerva=Athena
Pluto=Hades
Mercury=Hermes
Vulcan=Hephestus
Venus=Aphrodite
Another important god to be aware of is Apollo the god of the sun. He plays many important roles throughout Greek mythology.

Another Just For Kids Site

I know I have already posted a site for kids, but one more can't hurt. Have fun with coloring, word searches, mazes, crosswords, and puzzles here.

Wiredforbooks.org

I wish I would have found this site sooner. The site has audio and video readings of almost all Shakespearean plays and a few sonnets. For me, reading Shakespeare is so much easier when I follow along to someone else reading aloud. This site would be wonderful for students, especially students with lower reading levels.
