Description

Class Experience

In this class, I will cover both major and minor Greek gods and goddesses. Students will learn about their origin stories, characteristics, and adventures. Students will also learn about how the Romans absorbed the Greek pantheon and then made it their own.

Each class will start with my lecture at the beginning. I will enhance my presentation through slides and video clips. I will then follow-up with a class discussion, which will allow students to interact with me and with each other....

Students will be able to name and describe the major and some of the minor Greek gods & goddesses.

I studied Mythology in college and have taught Mythology classes at a co-op and to my children as part of our homeschool curriculum. I have also led Mythology Workshops for adults.

There will be no mandatory homework assignments; however, I will provide book titles and other resources for optional study.

I will provide all needed materials.

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Learner progress will be assessed through class discussion and participation.

55 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.

Some stories involving gods & goddesses may contain violence or sexual situations. These topics will be handled in an age-appropriate manner.
