Build Your Education is pleased to present "Mythology"
Course Title: Exploring Mythology Across Cultures (K-12)
Duration: Two Semesters (24 weeks total, 12 weeks each)
Overview:
We are excited to offer this student-requested mythology class for grades K-12, where your child will dive into the fascinating world of ancient stories and beliefs from cultures around the globe. This course is designed to engage all students with a shared exploration of what mythology is, how it differs across time and place, and the gods, goddesses, and deities that have shaped human imagination. Each week, students will study a core topic together—such as Greek gods, Norse legends, or Indigenous tales—then break into age-appropriate groups (K-2, 3-5, 6-8, 9-12) for activities tailored to their developmental level.
The teacher book is also the student book!
Future development: We’ll break this into each learning level.
What Your Child Will Learn:
- The purpose of myths (e.g., explaining nature, life, and the universe) and their historical context, tracked on personal timelines.
- Key figures like Zeus, Odin, Quetzalcoatl, and more, alongside cultural values from Mesopotamia to Polynesia.
- How mythology connects to modern stories in books, movies, and games.
Activities Include:
- For younger students (K-5): Drawing gods, crafting simple stories, and creating art inspired by myths.
- For older students (6-12): Researching cultural influences, writing original myths, and analyzing themes across traditions.
- A collaborative final project where students create and present their own mythology-inspired work.
