Description
Class Experience
By the end of this lesson, students will be familiar with snakes through Aztec, Hindu, Egyptian and Greek mythologies. Students will be able to connect some modern thoughts, practices and traditions to the origins found from the mythologies of these cultures.
I have spent 5 years studying various world mythologies via multiple facets; I have traveled all over the world, from Mexico's Chichén Itzá to the Greek Parthenon and many other places in between. I have taken university courses, sat in on lectures from historians and archaeologists, and researched both fact (scholarly articles / research papers) as well as modern day fiction built around the ideas found in myth and cultures from all corners of the globe. I continue to educate myself with modern research, literature and seminars whenever possible, all to further my interest in the stories I have studied from multiple cultures.
An optional extension activity will be given at the end of the lesson
50 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
