Homework
There will be one homework activity for the students near the end of the course. This homework will be to create a digital collage to share with the class about one story from Greek Mythology. They will have 30 seconds-1 minute to explain the images they chose for the story they selected. At the end of 2qai Five, we will discuss the ones they have chosen to make sure that everyone has selected a different focus.

Class Experience

US Grade 5 - 7
Welcome to the who’s who of Greek Mythology. We will start where most stories start, at the beginning, with The Primordials and The Titans. We will then move onto The Olympians for 4 weeks. The next week will focus on Hades and The Underworld. After that we will wrap up with a week on Greek Heroes and a final class devoted to the Monsters in the myths.
This class will include presentations, discussions, and interactive activities. I want this class to be as interactive as possible, and more discussion than lecture. I encourage a lot of sharing of prior knowledge and asking questions.
There will be one “homework” activity for the students near the end of the course. This homework will be to create a digital collage to share with the class about one story from Greek Mythology. They will have 1-2 minutes to explain the images they chose for the story they selected. At the end of Week Five, we will discuss the ones they have chosen to make sure that everyone has selected a different focus.

Here is the schedule:

Week One: The Primordials and the Titans. We will talk about Chaos, Gaia, Tartarus, Eros, Erebus, Hemera, and Nyx. Then we will talk about Oceanus, Coeus, Crius, Hyperion, Iapetus, Cronus, Thea, Rhea, Themis, Mnemosyne, Phoebe, and Tethys.
Week Two: The Olympians Part 1. We will talk about Zeus, Hera, and Poseidon. (Please note that this week's topic contains slightly more mature themes due to a majority of Zeus' myths involving him cheating on Hera.)
Week Three: The Olympians Part 2. We will talk about Athena, Apollo, and Artemis.
Week Four: The Olympians Part 3. We will talk about Ares, Hephaestus, and Hermes
Week Five: The Olympians Part 4. We will talk about Hestia, Dionysus, Aphrodite, and Demeter. Once the discussion is complete, students will be given a Greek figure to do a short digital project on. 
Week Six: Hades and the Underworld
Week Seven: Greek Heroes. We will talk about Heracles, Achilles, and Odysseus.
Week Eight: Monsters. We will take a look at several of the monsters that appear throughout Greek Mythology.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have been studying and learning about Greek Mythology since I was young. I don't have any formal training in it, but I would love to share what I have learned on my own with those who are interested. I wrote a lengthy school essay on transitions from Titans to the Olympians.
