Class Experience

US Grade 5 - 8
Welcome to our Greek Mythology Exploration! In this class, we will delve into the captivating realm of Greek myths, exploring the fascinating tales of gods and goddesses. 

Each session will feature the reading of a carefully selected Greek myth, followed by lively discussions where students can share their insights and perspectives. No prior knowledge is required; all learners are welcome! 

The class is structured to encourage active participation, incorporating engaging activities such as critical thinking discussions, Q&A sessions, and short activities, such as crossword puzzles and fill-in-the-blank sheets to go along with the myths.  Students will even have the opportunity to create their very own myth!

My teaching style is interactive, ensuring that learners have ample opportunities to interact with both the material and each other. We will utilize various resources, including slides and games to enhance the learning experience. 

Come join us on this mythological journey where every class unveils the captivating stories and intriguing characters of Greek mythology!

Parental Guidance
Please be advised that our Greek Mythology class delves into the rich tapestry of ancient myths, including stories of gods and goddesses. While these tales are fascinating and formative elements of cultural history, some narratives may contain themes of power dynamics, conflicts, violence, and mythological relationships that could be complex or intense for some students. Rest assured, our discussions will be handled with sensitivity and a focus on the educational aspects of these myths. I encourage open conversation between students and parents to navigate anything that may be challenging for your child.
