Description

Class Experience

Students will improve their understanding of ancient Greek or Roman culture through the myths learned.
Students will be able to recognize most references to these characters and myths in other Western works.
Students will recognize certain phrases and words that are Greek or Roman in origin.
Students will know the details to popular Greek and Roman myths
If any homework is assigned the assignment will be a fun 5 to 30 minute project to be done by themselves and submitted through messages on Outschool
If there is more than one student in the class and if I have time we will play Kahoot.
A handout for each lesson with be provided. All learner needs is to print it and use a pencil to fill in blacks. However, I know that ink is expensive the handout is optional
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
3 hours per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
Greek myths can get messy and while I will try to censor most of the stories there are some subjects I can not get around such as:
Murder
Death/ Suicide
Gore
Implied sexual situations
