In this one-time, 45 minute class, learners will be exposed to the Ancient Greek Mythological story of Jason & the Argonauts and their quest for the Golden-Fleeced Ram. Learners will be taught who Jason is, what the Golden-Fleeced Ram is, and why he needed to take this voyage across the sea to Colchis. We will focus on who some of the Argonauts were and on their many adventures crossing the Black Sea. The material will be presented in a slide show accompanied by lectures and stories in a story-telling format. Students are encouraged to raise their hands to participate in questions and sharing the knowledge they already possess about Greek mythology. I am so excited to share these stories with and to in turn learn from your learner!
Learning Goals
Learners will better understand the story of Jason & the Argonauts from Ancient Greek Mythology.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
We will discuss the idea of Greek gods and goddesses in a mythical, fictional sense. There will be mention of babies, marriage, and infidelity (explained to students as unfaithfulness to a married partner by having other girlfriends or boyfriends). We will talk about war, killing, and battles, but we will not go into bloody details. Many of the visual materials are paintings and statues that are scantily clad or indeed, nude, but those will be tastefully cropped so that not too much is revealed for the young learners.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
