Greek Mythology for Teens includes not only summaries of classic fables, but also means for students to become engaged with the material: brief read-aloud sketches acting out the myths, activities, discussion questions, exercises, and more. Black-and-white illustrations enhance this excellent and highly recommended learning tool.,James A. Cox,Midwest Book Review, 10/14/11 Whether educators are teaching mythology for the first time, or they are seasoned veterans, this text provides innovative ways to engage students so that they take a proactive approach to the learning process rather than rely solely on teachers' dissemination of knowledge. ,Courtney Krieger,Voice of Youth Advocates, 11/28/11
This book presents the Greek myths as plays, offering an active, group experience to learning the stories and the important themes surrounding each myth. The author is a classroom teacher himself, so he has written it with the classroom in mind and has included a helpful teacher's guide to help with implementation considerations. Follow-up sections connect these old stories to issues and themes relevant to today.
