"Myths aren't stories that are untrue, rather they are tales that do not fit neatly into the historical record, yet which serve as a foundation to a culture." Calling all aspiring historians, story-tellers, and lovers of story! I need your help as we map out the ancient wonders of the world after examining the myths behind them. This club cycles through different ancient mythologies and reviews their stories, sorting out 'recorded history' (archaeologically and historically backed) from myth. Moreover, we'll get to the root of what these stories tell us about humanity and why they matter. Every class begins with a 15-20 minute discussion about a particular story or 'event' and then we venture to Minecraft worlds where we explore its depiction. In game the class will either reenact the story with their peers, solve puzzles, explore ancient wonders of the world, or engage in build challenges that actively test their knowledge. In this class you will become familiar with architecture styles of these ancient cultures and connect their stories with their beloved, modern interpretations (you're welcome Marvel!). You will never forget these experiences as you engage with the very world you're learning about, experiencing a wealth of exciting games, challenges, and re-enactments. Each mythology (Chinese, Greek, Norse and Egyptian) will be featured in 1-2 month segments, starting with Greek Mythology in Nov-Dec, then moving on to Norse, Egyptian, and then Chinese. NOTE ABOUT MINECRAFT: There are two versions of Minecraft that run on different code: Java (PC, Mac, Linux) and Bedrock. This class uses Bedrock, and is compatible with the following devices: PC with Windows 10, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, phone or tablet version. THIS IS NOT A MINECRAFT JAVA CLASS! Please make sure your child has online-play enabled with their Microsoft account, including Nintendo Switch Online, Xbox Live Gold, and PlayStation® Plus subscriptions for their respective device. I will give more detailed instructions about friending me and joining class upon registering.

教師專業知識和證書
I am a teacher who combines my love of video games and fictional stories with subjects like personal development, history, psychology, and anthropology, and writing. I want to stimulate learning within the environments students find themselves most engaged, whether they be in virtual worlds or ones in their imagination!
I have 6 years of teaching experience with 18 year-old English-learners and children ages 7-13. I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Anthropology from Clemson University and use this degree to help students reflect on others' perspectives. My philosophy of teaching ensures students hit every spot in the learning cycle. When my students grapple with new concepts, they will reflect on the connections these concepts have to their personal lives, and actively experiment with these concepts in activities that rely on teamwork, problem solving, and promote creativity. Creativity is my bread and butter. It is my personal wish to have every student ignite their love of learning by creating something they can proudly show off to parents and friends.
Besides being a fan of video games like World of Warcraft and Skyrim, I love movies, reading, hiking and listening to podcasts, practicing self-defense (Krav Maga), and dancing to electronic music. I have lived abroad and travelled to over 10 countries, and enjoy studying other cultures and ways of living.
