Come celebrate Mermaid Day (March 29) by exploring the globe to examine the variety of mermaids and sirens around the world through pictures and stories including those of Selkies, Merrows, and Mami Wata.
Class experience
Mermaids come in all types - beautiful and demonic, kind and treacherous, lovely voices and forked tongues. In this class, students will travel the globe's oceans, lakes, seas and lochs to examine mermaids from varying cultures including Selkies, Merrows, and Mami Wata. Brief stories told along the way allows learners to create a complete picture of these legendary mermaids including the evolution of The Little Mermaid from Greek myth to Disney phenomena.

This class is therefore intended for early and late elementary school students who have an understanding that mermaids are not real and are comfortable with scary sometimes violent imagery. Although no nudity is shown, due to the content of material, certain areas of the pictures have been blackened.
