In this self-paced course, students will learn about the constellations in the night sky, and the stories behind them. The focus will be on animal constellations, not just from Greek mythology, but from mythology around the world! This is a self-paced course, which means there is no live component. The course is divided into five lessons. Each lesson has a recorded presentation (from 14-18 minutes long) where I show learners the night sky, name the constellations, and tell my favorite stories about the stars. When viewing the recording, students can follow along with their homemade star wheel (very easy to make, instructions included in Part 1), or just enjoy the constellations on the screen (I use a program called Stellarium to display the constellations while I talk about them). Students will also be given an extension activity in each lesson that will help them to explore the constellations in greater depth at home, and then come back to the classroom to share the results of their exploration. For instance, after viewing the recording for Lesson 5, students will create their own constellations with family members, complete with drawings and their own mythology. Need a discount? Sure thing! All of my self-paced courses are "pay what you can afford." To get the discount you need, sign up for the course first, then message me with the discount you would like, and I will apply a partial refund.
