    About this ebook

    Students will be taken on an adventure through the world of mythology. They will discover many different types of myths and learn about the cultures that created them. An introduction to Greek, Roman, Norse, and Native North American myths are presented in a very structured format. A “Major Project" allows the students to demonstrate further knowledge of myths by completing a series of activities. Optional lessons allow the students to further thematic connections, identify practical applications, and to simply have fun. A sampling of myths is used in conjunction with the unit to supplement the lesson plan. This Folktales lesson provides a teacher and student section with a variety of reading passages, creative writing activities, crossword, word search and answer key to create a well-rounded lesson plan.

      activities.

      UNIT OVERVIEW

      MYTHS FROM AROUND THE WORLD

      In this unit, students will be taken on an adventure through the world of mythology. They will discover many different types of myths and learn about the cultures which created them. Part I is an introduction to four types of myths: Greek, Roman, Norse, and Native American and is presented in a very structured format. Part II, Major Project, allows the students to demonstrate further knowledge of myths by completing a series of activities. A contract-style format is used which allows students to feel a sense of responsibility and gain ownership over their work. The teacher acts only as a facilitator in this section. Part III consists of many optional lessons for the teacher to implement, if desired. These lessons allow the students to further thematic connections, identify practical applications, and to simply have fun. Part IV is a sampling of myths from the cultures included in this unit. Teachers may use them in conjunction with the unit and to supplement their own sources of myths. This mythology unit is going to take you and your students on an adventure through times and places that will make your imagination soar!

      PART I - TEACHING LESSONS

      In this section, students learn about myths from four cultures. Teacher instruction followed by student assignments helps students to initially explore myths in a structured setting.

      PART II - MAJOR PROJECT

      This section of the unit is a group assignment. Student groups contract with the teacher to complete activities from the Major Project List, totaling 50 points. This major project is quite time consuming.

      PART III - OPTIONAL LESSONS

      PART IV - SELECTED MYTHS

      A collection of Greek, Roman, Norse, and Native American myths to supplement the lessons in this unit has been included.
