By the end of this course, students will learn about the origin story of the Greek gods, the relationship between the major gods and goddesses, any major disagreements between gods/goddesses, as well as their birth stories, what they are the god or goddess of, and their Roman mythological counterpart.

This course is meant to be an entertaining introdution to the gods and goddesses of Greek mythology. There will be student discussion and activity built into the course, but much of it is students listening to stories of the gods. Participation is key and helps to ensure retention of information. There are no knowledge prerequisites to this class. All that is required is an interest in learning about these mighty mythological figures!

Orientación para padres

The origins of many Greek gods and goddesses are often violent. For example, Cronus murdered and dismembered his father Uranus and threw his genitals into the ocean, creating a foam. From this foam, the goddess Aphrodite was born. This is the most I will go into detail on topics such as that, but be aware.

Hello!

I'm originally from the Bay Area in California, but moved to the North State for college and (so far) haven't left! I have a Bachelor's degree in English Education and a Master's degree in English  with a focus on Language and Literacy, as well as teaching credentials in both English and Social Studies. I've spent the last seven years teaching English to students ranging in age from grade 7 through grade 12.

My favorite thing about teaching is watching a student fall in love with the same things I’m passionate about or watching them finally “get” something they’ve been struggling with. I’m excited about Outschool because there are so many things I’m passionate about that don’t necessarily “fit” into a mainstream school setting.

Outside of school, I have two dogs: Ollie, a majority Pit Bull/Chihuahua mix (that was quite a shock after getting a DNA test plus the 13 other breeds), and Navi, another supermutt including 2% "wild canid" - my husband excitedly thought that meant she's part wolf. In California, it likely means coyote. They're complete opposite personalities but love playing with each other!

I look forward to seeing you in some of my classes!
