MYTHOLOGY
FOR TEENS: CLASSIC MYTHS IN TODAY'S WORLD
Mythology for Teens takes classical mythology
to a new level by relating ancient stories to the culture, history,
art, and literature of today. By looking at topics instrumental to both
mythology and modern culture, teens are encouraged to question topics
such as the repercussions of war, vanity and greed, the workings of
fate, the nature of love, the roles of women in society, revenge and
forgiveness, the meaning of life, and national identity.
The majority of high school humanities and Advanced Placement
courses teach classical mythology by simply retelling myths. By using
teen-friendly Reader's Theater scripts to tell the legends, in
combination with activities, discussion questions, and exercises that
help students apply what they've learned to real life, Mythology for
Teens takes the classic myths taught in school and turns them into an
engaging, interesting, and fresh way of looking at old material.
