Myth Mastery

Help me give my students books, graphic novels, and classroom materials related to Greek Mythology.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Keim's classroom raised $630

This project is fully funded

My Project

In the sixth grade, students conduct an up-close investigation into mythology, using Percy Jackson as their core text. In this unit, students learn about ancient Greek culture, develop ideas of character and theme, and explore the monsters, maidens, and men who make up Greek mythology.

These texts will help my students as they embark on the research portion of this unit- delving deeper into a mythological character to improve their reading comprehension, writing prowess, and collaborative skills.

By adding these books to our classroom library, you are directly impacting my students' access to diverse texts and complex language. These texts will be used in combination with internet resources to build student understanding and skills.
