Each class will be covering different characters or creatures from Greek Mythology. Each lesson will start with a discussion of what the students know about that particular lesson's god, hero, or creature followed by that subject's story, either read by myself or through a video. The students will explore pictures of ancient Greek artwork through slides, play games to test their knowledge over the lesson, do fun activities (personality tests, crossword puzzles, word searches, etc.), and/or do a project with arts and crafts time at the end of each lesson. This is the shorter version of the year-long class and will ONLY cover the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I went to school for a teaching degree with a major in English and a minor in science. I later went back to add on a history degree. Throughout the years in brick and mortar schools, I taught high school English (general, pre-AP, and at-risk), AP American history, AP world history, chemistry, AP biology, pre-AP anatomy, middle school Earth and life sciences, and IPC.
I was also a scout troop leader for nearly a decade where I taught life skills and made several themed book camps for the scouts. I love to dive into book series with students to promote a love of reading and understanding. I was that kid that waited outside of Barnes and Noble for it to open at midnight on the Tuesday release days of each Harry Potter book (after I read the first one). My goal is to not only get students to want to continue reading the following books in the series I teach, but to have them take a closer look into them and learn about different literary devices. I also have a love of history and always seek multiple views of historic events. Science fascinates me with its ever evolving discoveries. I love when my students get excited to learn more about a subject.Reviews
