A great way to learn about different cultures around the world is by listening to and discussing myths and legends. In this ongoing course, students will learn about and discuss different stories from around the world. Each week will cover a different myth, legend, folktale, or story from around the world and I will do my best to cover all areas of the globe. The myths will be taken from reliable sources and it is important to keep the discussion respectful when discussing these stories as they form an important part of the culture. 

Due to the ongoing nature of the course, students are welcome to join as they wish as each week will cover a different topic. 

The class will be structured as follows:
We will start with introductions
I will then tell the story of the week and include any important historical and cultural information about the area that the story originates from. This will be done through a presentation, pictures, and maybe a video. 
After the story, I will lead a guided discussion. Most myths and legends have some form of lesson, so we will discuss that lesson for the week. The discussion will include questions like "What can we learn from this story?" and "What does the story tell us about the place it comes from?"
At the end of the class, we will play a fun trivia game to test our comprehension of the story that week!
