Grade six humanities students created fun and thoughtful Character Awards  based on the characters from The Epic of Gilgamesh. They chose a character and designed a unique award that reflected that character’s traits, actions, and overall role in the story. Using evidence from the text, they explained why their character deserves the award and how their behavior, strengths, or challenges shaped the epic. This project encouraged creativity while helping students analyze character development and connect the characters’ qualities to larger themes in the text. It’s a great way to celebrate learning while showing deep understanding of the epic’s timeless figures.
