"Myths aren't stories that are untrue, rather they are tales that do not fit neatly into the historical record, yet which serve as a foundation to a culture."

Become one with the legends of Greek Mythology and see how it's shaped western culture for thousands of years. Join me in adventuring the Aegean sea and surrounding islands, where we will prove to the Gods that we are worthy of their powers before joining their ranks as Olympians ourselves. 

Each class we will discuss and review the characters of Greek Mythological stories, then reenact them in the Minecraft world. Over the course of the week we will build, do lots of exploring, compete in games, scavenger/treasure hunts, player vs. player activities, and more all in survival mode Minecraft. 

Over the course of the week we will explore:
- Perseus and Medusa. Learn about this fabled hero and go on his journey, meeting Athena, Hermes, the fates, and more along the way! Go on a treasure hunt in the ocean and defeat drowned so the sea monster can be slain.
- Theseus and the Minotaur, learn about the maze and this mythological beast before trying to get through it yourself. Everyone will need to work together to defeat the Minotaur
- The Battle at Troy: prepare for the incoming invasion from the Greeks as the Trojans using redstone and other defenses, before have a multi-stage battle where the Gods and Achilles will show themselves!
- Mount Olympus and the Olympians: Explore Mount Olympus and meet the Olympians! Then, you will make your own God or Goddess and fight in the gladiator games to prove your worth!
- Reenact some of Odysseus and Hercules' trials and tribulations! Solve an escape room by working together and get through the obstacle course after finding a secret Garden and defeating the Cyclopes and Sirens!

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a teacher who combines my love of video games and fictional stories with subjects like personal development, history, psychology, and anthropology, and writing. I want to stimulate learning within the environments students find themselves most engaged, whether they be in virtual worlds or ones in their imagination!

I have 6 years of teaching experience with 18 year-old English-learners and children ages 7-13. I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Anthropology from Clemson University and use this degree to help students reflect on others' perspectives. My philosophy of teaching ensures students hit every spot in the learning cycle. When my students grapple with new concepts, they will reflect on the connections these concepts have to their personal lives, and actively experiment with these concepts in activities that rely on teamwork, problem solving, and promote creativity. Creativity is my bread and butter. It is my personal wish to have every student ignite their love of learning by creating something they can proudly show off to parents and friends.

Besides being a fan of video games like World of Warcraft and Skyrim, I love movies, reading, hiking and listening to podcasts, practicing self-defense (Krav Maga), and dancing to electronic music. I have lived abroad and travelled to over 10 countries, and enjoy studying other cultures and ways of living.
