First, we learned about Myths and I created a flip chart that taught the main elements that most Myths have. Then, we watched a short video about Pandora’s Box, and the students discussed the literary elements in the Myth. Finally, each student took a personality quiz on the computer that told them which Greek Mythological creature they were most like and why! They loved this! All citations for images are listed on each slide.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-p_GxNYLeuYs/TrWNj_tcpCI/AAAAAAAAAA8/rADp48ZExgY/s1600/Ancient_Greece.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" ida="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-p_GxNYLeuYs/TrWNj_tcpCI/AAAAAAAAAA8/rADp48ZExgY/s320/Ancient_Greece.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

The entire unit is holiday themed, beginning with Halloween. October is a busy month at our school and we paused this unit to celebrate Virginia Read Aloud week, but this week we are completing the dictionary skills section of this unit. Take a look at some of the images from my flipchart (adapted from a flipchart created by Kris Cable at Back Creek Elementary, promethean planet 2006): <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SA46LczWr8Q/TrWM4sWs8kI/AAAAAAAAAAk/hwzzv_-x2Bc/s1600/References.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" ida="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SA46LczWr8Q/TrWM4sWs8kI/AAAAAAAAAAk/hwzzv_-x2Bc/s320/References.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
