In this one-time, 45 minute class learners will be exposed to the Ancient Greek Mythological story of the Trojan War. Learners will learn the major causes of the Trojan War along with the heroes who fought in the Trojan War, and how the war was won. 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 be exposed to the Trojan War in Ancient Greek Mythology, who the main heroes were, why the war started, and how it was ended.
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.
Sources
The Greek Myths Complete Edition by Robert Graves, and the Iliad by Homer are main sources of information along with several websites including greekmythology.com.
