Hello,
My name is Rhonda and I teach US History. Seven years ago, I created a curriculum for 8th graders called "Comparative World Mythology" and was able to teach it until this year. My district said that because the kids don't receive high school credit for the class, it would no longer be taught. ( I covered Greek, Celtic, Norse, Egyptian, some Hindu, some Japanese and Chinese.) I am grieving for the opportunity I once had, and I miss discussions, making comparisons and connections to other beliefs, myths, cultures, etc. I am still interested in mythology and would like to continue learning all I can about the vast topic.
I look forward to reading your posts on this forum.
