Welcome to the who’s who of Greek Mythology. We will start where most stories start, at the beginning, with The Primordials and The Titans. We will then spend the next 4 weeks diving into myths about the Olympians. The next week will focus on Hades and The Underworld. After that we will wrap up with a week on Greek Heroes and a final class devoted to the Monsters in the myths. This class will include presentations, discussions, and interactive activities. I want this class to be as interactive as possible. I encourage a lot of sharing of prior knowledge and asking questions. Each week will include videos and slideshows about the topic, and an interactive activity for students to complete. Videos will be linked through Youtube. Here is the schedule: Week One: The Primordials and the Titans. We will talk about Chaos, Gaia, Tartarus, Eros, Erebus, Hemera, and Nyx. Then we will talk about Oceanus, Coeus, Crius, Hyperion, Iapetus, Cronus, Thea, Rhea, Themis, Mnemosyne, Phoebe, and Tethys. Students will comment something they learned this week, and interact in a discussion with their classmates about what they found interesting. Week Two: The Olympians Part 1. We will talk about Zeus, Hera, and Poseidon. Students will upload a one minute video or audio summarizing the myths about either Zeus, Hera, or Poseidon. They will then review at least 2 of their classmates' videos and leave a comment or a question on their videos. Week Three: The Olympians Part 2. We will talk about Athena, Apollo, Artemis, and Aphrodite. Students will answer 3 discussion prompts listed in the classroom and respond to at least 2 classmates responses. Week Four: The Olympians Part 3. We will talk about Ares, Hephaestus, and Hermes. Students will create a worksheet activity (i.e. crossword, words search with clues, or a mystery answer. Examples will be provided.) and post it to the classroom. Everyone will choose an activity posted by a classmate to complete and submit next week. Week Five: The Olympians Part 4. We will talk about Hestia, Dionysus, and Demeter. Students will submit the worksheet they chose from the previous week. Week Six: Hades and the Underworld. Students will draw a map of what they think the layout of the underworld is. They will post this and comment on at least 2 other students' maps. Week Seven: Greek Heroes. We will talk about Heracles, Achilles, and Odysseus. Week Eight: Monsters. We will take a look at several of the monsters that appear throughout Greek Mythology. Students will post a one sentence retelling of a myth that includes a hero and monster without including the names of either. Students will then comment on other posts and try to guess which hero and monster they are talking about.

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
I have been studying and learning about Greek Mythology since I was young. I don't have any formal training in it, but I would love to share what I have learned on my own with those who are interested. I wrote a lengthy school essay on transitions from Titans to the Olympians.
