Hello, and thank you for considering my class! I am Teacher Sydney, and I hope to meet you soon!

- Class style -
This is a story time/lecture style class. 
Each myth is told in a very dramatic way and is easy to engage and follow with. I will be drawing mostly from D'Aulaires' Book of Greek Myths, and occasionally from Bulfinch's Greek and Roman Mythology to tell each myth in a full and clear way that is accessible to young learners! However, please make sure to review the "parental guidance" to make sure this class is right for your learner.

This is a learner-centered class. 
Students are free to ask questions throughout class and I will pause to point out key names, places (using maps), and vocabulary words that may be unfamiliar. We will stop and review the main points of each story as we go. I hope to make the sometimes complicated plot lines (with the hard-to-remember Greek names) understandable and fun! Students will learn a bit of Greek mythology, geography, vocabulary, and reading comprehension all-in-one engaging and eclectic class! 

This is an ongoing class!
Learners are welcome to join and leave (and re-join!) at any point. Prior classes are not needed to enjoy the current week's class! 


- Who is this class for? -
This class is great for those who:
- are completely new Greek mythology
- have heard some myths and want to get a better grasp of each god and hear some stories that are less widely known
- who have read something like Percy Jackson and want to hear what inspired the books!
