Students (in small groups) will research the mythology from a region of the world and teach it to their classmates.

Introduction

One of the best ways to learn something is to teach it to someone else. In a week, you will be learning about mythology from a specific region of the world. You will become an expert on that region's pantheon (whole list of gods and goddesses), stories, and mythological archetypes (creation, flood, hero quests). You will then teach what you have learned to the rest of the class, so everyone may experience these stories.
