After discussing the plots of various Greek and Roman myths, students will participate in acting/reading a readers theater script of that myth. Before each class, I will summarize the story and we will talk about the characters in each myth, analyzing their characteristics and discussing any issues that might arise from playing the characters. We will also talk about what the myth is saying about how Greeks and Romans viewed human nature and how the stories about gods reflect their life views. - Students will be assigned roles for each myth. NOTE: IF THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH READERS FOR A SCRIPT, I WILL READ THE EXTRA PARTS. Then each week we will read a different script. I will choose myths based on student interest and logical order.
Learning Goals
Students will extend their knowledge of Greek and Roman mythology and practice their oral reading skills.Other Details

Words, words, words. Where would we be without them? They can make us laugh,cry, feel, think, reflect and push us to change the world. I have 40 years of experience teaching English Language Arts to adolescents-- and I am still smiling! What can I teach? If it deals with language, I can do it: grammar, literature, essay writing, creative writing, poetry,and word study to name a few. I have also directed plays for over 35 years for kids ranging from 3 to 18, and for adults in community theatre, so I can teach all aspects of Theater Arts. Because I am also an actress, I am energetic, enthusiastic and animated.
I believe, like Nelson Mandela has said, " Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." That is what teaching should be. AND, it should be fun!!
I have a BA in English and a MA in Humanities/Theater Arts, and a lifetime teaching certificate.
I am now retired. BUT, I am not tired of teaching-- it's who I am and what I do. I have 40 years worth of ideas to share with eager learners of all ages. Come learn and play with me.
