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="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8lb01b1kwxxfNaO_-yZWFj5XRvBaHLM4mX0aJxspHC80uWWbV1hx1Gb-8rfXmsVRhCMP1tmiMUCjlrkBNvYnUV_yHczkIT5LkI9FFextvOxXLPXphnAp7yo_D89MyZ-MP2T-XIq8rjmw/s1600/Ancient_Greece.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" ida="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8lb01b1kwxxfNaO_-yZWFj5XRvBaHLM4mX0aJxspHC80uWWbV1hx1Gb-8rfXmsVRhCMP1tmiMUCjlrkBNvYnUV_yHczkIT5LkI9FFextvOxXLPXphnAp7yo_D89MyZ-MP2T-XIq8rjmw/s320/Ancient_Greece.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

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.
