2-4 horas por semana. Students will be reading an average of 35 - 40 pages per week, with one week requiring them to read 50 pages. There are also a couple of weeks when the reading will be fewer than 35 pages. I have tried to divide the reading into sections that make the most sense.
Evaluación
Learner progress will be assessed through class discussions and through the Mythology Trivia Game that will take place during our final meeting.

During this class, students will be taught about the gods, goddesses, heroes, and villains of Greek Mythology. They will also learn about earlier mythologies that influenced Greek Mythology as well as later mythologies that were influenced by the Greeks. Students will also discover the relevance of mythology in our world today. 

Using Edith Hamilton's Mythology: Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes as our guide, we will explore the worlds of Greek, Roman, Norse, Egyptian, and Middle Eastern Mythologies. Greek Mythology will be our main study; however, I will also be teaching students some things about the other mythologies previously mentioned and about how different cultures borrowed or incorporated the myths of others. Students will also learn how and why some myths changed over time or had variations. 

Students will need to purchase Edith Hamilton's Mythology. The link to purchase this book will be provided in the supply list section and the sources section of this listing. Students will read the book outside of class. Each week during class, students will discuss the assigned reading, share thoughts, and ask questions. I will share information not contained in the book with students, too. 

Here is the reading schedule:
*I am posting the schedule as sections rather than page numbers because students may have different editions of the book. When students have the books in their hands, this schedule will make more sense; however, please feel free to ask me any questions you may have. Also, a pdf file of this reading schedule will be made available upon enrollment. 

Prior to our first class (Week 1), students need to read the following *sections of Edith Hamilton's Mythology: 
Introduction to Classical Mythology - The Mythology of the Greeks; The Greek and Roman Writers of Mythology; PART ONE: (1)The Gods - The Titans and the Twelve Great Olympians myth through The Underworld myth

For Week 12: Choose some snacks fit for a god/goddess, whip up some ambrosia (nectar of the gods), and prepare for the Ultimate Mythology Trivia Game. More details will be added as we get closer to the last class session.

Our class sessions will consist of lectures, discussions, and slides. Since the students will be reading the book outside of class, I am looking forward to hearing their thoughts and ideas about the content. I want our class to be interactive and I want to see the students engaged in their learning. I believe in igniting the flame of curiosity in learners in order to see them get excited about the subject and take charge of their own learning. 

Students do not need any prior knowledge of mythology. They should, however, be prepared to undertake a fair amount of reading during this class. This is usually not a problem, as I find most students thoroughly enjoy reading and learning about mythology.

I currently teach several other Mythology classes on Outschool. I previously taught a mythology class to high schoolers using this book in a homeschool co-op setting. I have also taught my children Mythology as part of our homeschool curriculum. I read and studied Mythology in high school and college. I became an adult who continued to immerse myself in the mythologies of various cultures. All topics related to violence or sexual content will be handled carefully and appropriately. Students will be given ample time to express their thoughts and feelings about these stories. Parents can also read through the book with their children.
