Description
This is a newly revised, 10-slide MS 2013 PowerPoint designed to be used as an introduction to a Mythology elective course in a high school English curriculum or in any ELA course in which you are involving a unit on myth. This is a highly graphic, detailed PowerPoint, complete with distinctions between myths, fables, and folk tales, and slide transitions/in-slide animations.
Students are invited to take the notes in the form of a lecture as they learn about the distinction between myths and other stories (eg. legends, fairy tales, folk tales, etc.), or to paraphrase the ideas in order to process and begin to analyze the myths you choose to navigate together in your course. The images from various cultures (including Norse, Egyptian, Sumerian, Ancient Greek and Roman, etc.) help make connections for students, and serve as an effectifve connecting piece for you to take this introductory PowerPoint and run with it -- to Homer's Odyssey, or the epic of Gilgamesh, or the myth of Isis, Osiris, and Horus and so on. Students have found this to be an extremely effective method of introducing what myths are rather than what they "think they know" about what myths are, and to navigate forward into the exciting, ever-relevant world of mythology.
