Create Your Own Modern Myth Writing Activity
In this activity, students will choose a modern phenomenon or issue (such as why the Wi-Fi goes down at the worst time) and they write a myth to explain why this happens or how it came to be.

Mythology Important Gods and Goddesses Poster Project - Digital Optional
Whether you are teaching a Mythology unit or an entire Mythology course, this fun, quick project can help students dive into a particular god or goddess. It is flexible enough to use in multiple contexts and could be easily modified for various grade-levels. I allow students to choose to work by themselves or with a partner, which gives them the option to collaborate. I also have students present their posters to the class to give them practice public speaking and being a good audience. Included

Teaching style
I tend to see myself as a guide on the path to knowledge. I try to spend very little time lecturing and instead allow students the time and space to discover the content for themselves. I definitely do incorporate direct instruction when needed, but most of my class time is devoted to students working independently or collaboratively with a partner or small group. My philosophy is that students should work at least as hard if not harder for their knowledge and grade!
