Class experience
This course is designed as an English Language Arts elective suitable for upper middle school and high school students. Discussion will happen in an open format, sometimes using digital response tools like Padlet or even writing about the reading or collecting their thoughts and jigsawing different topics collaboratively. Video clips will be used from Marvel movies, popular culture, and the horrible Horrible Histories from the BBC. Some slides, but this is NOT a note taking lecture based...
Students will learn about Vikings: their culture, art, history, writing, and their myths and legends. This is primarily a mythology course, but all aspects of Viking life will be examined. Students will work to unpack these myths and to find the values of a culture that exist at the heart of all stories.
I am certified to teach English and Language Arts from 6th to 12 grade. I have a bachelors in English Education from Kennesaw State University, and I am in a master's program for English Education at the same university. Additionally, I am gifted certified and hold a micro-endorsement in dramatic writing. I am certified to teach this course and have taught this unit of study as part of a larger high school year long Mythology course at a public high school for two years. I have taught this portion of the course to students in this age range (freshmen to seniors).

The book Norse Mythology has little actual violence, though it does feature drinking. Magic will also be mentioned, and students will make writings and artifacts that contain Viking runes that were believed to be magical.
Neil Gaiman's Norse Mythology (see required materials) I will provide other readings, articles, videos, poems, pictures, and presentations.
