Description

Class Experience

Students will be learning about Greek mythology and their place in history. 
I have a degree in History as well as passed my teacher's license test in Massachusetts. I use my love of History and facts to help children understand that history is conceived of real people who did real things. I found Social Studies class boring as a child because the teachers concentrated mostly on dates and statistics rather than the humans behind the events. I use pop culture to help kids resonate with the ideas and events of the past. 
We will be having handouts, quizzes, and papers revolving around the "characters" and their relationships in the book and in mythology itself. 
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
I will be giving a letter grade for the quizzes, and handouts. I will be giving an informal assessment on the writings. 
No live meetings, and an estimated 1 - 2 hours per week outside of class.
This is based on Greek Mythology so there is talk of gods, humans and others mating as well as violence. Nothing too gratuitous.
Prerequisite: Percy Jackson: The Lighting Thief
We will be covering the characters out of order so it's best that the book is read beforehand.
