Week at a glance Aug 17 - 21, 2009

Welcome!

On this site, you’ll find a breakdown of each week’s lesson plans and activities for the Mythology course. Assignments and due dates will always be listed in red. You can access class handouts through the “Course Materials” section located on the top left side of this site. If you have any questions or comments regarding things you'd like to see on this site, call me at WRHS or e-mail me at ritchjoh@usd437.net

Our class is unique because we have a large class and mixture of students, grades 10-12. Therefore, we'll spend our first two days focused on getting to know one another and getting comfortable discussing the concepts involved with Mythology. Our next two days will be days of notes focused on defining Mythology, determining its relevance, and learning about how it interacts in social, historical, and cultural contexts.

  • Mon: New student orientation
  • Tues: Introductions
  • Wed: Finish introductions and course overview
  • Thurs: What is Mythology? What are its basic components? What is its relevance to us today? Notes in class.
  • Fri: How do myths interact with the society and culture of their time period? Notes in class.
