Over four 20-30-minute lessons, we will study two parts of Halloween history: 1. The history behind our modern traditions and the ancient festivals that inspired Halloween. 2. The origins of the creatures many people dress up as on Halloween. In our first two lessons, we will learn about festivals and legends behind the Halloween traditions we know and celebrate today. Students will learn the origins of our modern holiday and how it was inspired by ancient stories and folk tales. We will discuss how old festivals have influenced our modern holiday. In lessons three and four, we will hear the folk tales and legends behind Halloween monsters. Students will learn the origin stories, myths, and legends that inspired these beasts and spirits, and how different cultures contributed their own versions to today's costumes and stories. We will also discuss how these old stories can influence modern superstitions. We will talk about the history of festivals including: 🐈⬛ Samhain in Ireland and Scotland 🔥 Calan Gaeaf in Wales 💀 Día de Muertos in Mexico We will talk about the history of creatures and beings like: 🧛♂️ Vampires 🧟 Zombies 🐺 Werewolves 👻 Ghosts SCHEDULE Week 1: Global Fall Festivals, Myths, Stories & History Week 2: Global Fall Festivals, Myths, Stories & History Week 3: Origins of the Monsters, Ghosts & Beasts of Halloween Week 4: Origins of the Monsters, Ghosts & Beasts of Halloween I teach using visual slides featuring illustrations, including some historic representations of these creatures from medieval texts to compare them to our modern versions. This class is "lecture style", but students are encouraged to ask questions and share their own Halloween traditions. This is a "self-paced" class, meaning there are no live video sessions. Learners can view the recorded videos at any time during the week. If you are interested in taking the live version of this class, I offer it in two one-time classes here: 🎃 Part 1: Global Fall Festivals, Myths, Stories & History 👻 Part 2: Origins of the Monsters, Ghosts & Beasts of Halloween

Since many of the traditions of Halloween are derived from religious practices and beliefs, we will discuss how belief systems can help shape culture. This will include some Christianity (i.e. Día de Muertos) and ancient pagan beliefs (i.e. Samhain). Many Halloween traditions are also based around the concept of death and an afterlife. Parents and students should be aware that we will discuss cultural depictions surrounding death the concept of an afterlife, which includes "ghosts" and "spirits".
We will be learning about monsters and ghosts, so students should be prepared for discussions of these creepy and sometimes evil creatures. In many stories, death is common.
PLEASE NOTE: We discuss the ways that certain creatures can be defeated/killed, according to folklore. This is includes vampire being killed by a wooden stake through their heart or werewolves with a silver bullet. There is one instance of the belief in a vampire being defeated by decapitation. We do not go into detail and no descriptions are ever mentioned. Everything will be age-appropriate with the level of "creepiness" from child-friendly Halloween movies. We always emphasize that these are made-up stories.

教師の専門知識と資格
学士号 University of California, Riversideから 歴史 へ
Hi parents and learners! My name is Alexandra and I love stories of all kinds.
I offer classes that survey stories from all over the world, including mythology, folklore, fairy tales, legends, literature, and true history. My classes teach students how to interpret stories in their historical and cultural context. I believe that the best way to learn about history and different cultures is through the stories a country, tribe, or any group of people tell about themselves and pass down to their own children.
I earned my degree in history from the University of California, Riverside, with an emphasis on ancient and medieval history. I studied abroad at the University of Oxford as part of my undergraduate degree.
I have been working with students ages five to eighteen over the last ten years as a teacher’s assistant, substitute, one-on-one tutor, and homeschool teacher.
I look forward to seeing you in a class and sharing stories that matter!
