Mythology

Welcome to Mythology!

Week of 10/15 - 10/18

Students will test on the "Flower Myths" chapter this week. We will then move on to research projects. Students will work together with a partner and will be assigned a myth to conduct research on. The students will create a power point presentation about the myth they've been assigned and will also create a test that goes along with the power point.  They will become experts on this myth, and will teach their peers about the lessons, characters, and important plot points of the myth they've been assigned.
