¡Entusiasma los mitos griegos!

The purpose of this class is an immersion of Greek mythology with learners creating an ending based on all the things they see, talk about, and hear. Students may ask crazy questions of the gods like: Which god do you hate the most? Endings might include things like Barbeque of the gods, Hermes' Starbucks, or various other things that the students come up with.
Every picture, question, and moment may not make sense but the stories will hopefully stick in their minds as they become part of them.

Students will learn about conflict as they are orally told tales of Greek gods and goddesses. 
Only one or two stories are examined weekly based on the god or goddess for the week.
Extensions may include other short myths. If less than three students are present there may be a lot of extension at the end. I've also been known to do an impromptu puppet show.

10 minutes: Students will be introduced to the word conflict and pertinent background information.
10-15 minutes: The students will listen to the tale of a Greek god or goddess told first-person by the teacher as she embodies the Greek gods and goddesses and they will think about questions that they have for the orator about their choices leading up to and dealing with the conflict. The students will use their critical thinking skills to come up with "Where? Why? How?" questions about the story in break-out rooms.
15 minutes: Students will then work with each other to try and come up with questions, conflict, and an alternate ending in break-out rooms.
15 minutes: The students will then ask the teacher the question and she will answer based on details in the story. They will also share their alternate endings. 
10 minutes: At the end, students will determine if the Greek god or goddess was right or wrong in the way they dealt with conflict. Other stories may be discussed and examined for an extension.
