What did you like about Greek Mythology?
The part of Greek Mythology I like obviously is the interesting stories through the whole book. I admire Ancient Greek people, as their creativity was so amazing. They can make up an entire system of the view of world. At that period of time, since there wasn’t a word called science, people can imagine substances as whatever they want. Those creative Greeks came up with so many stories of gods and goddess and made everything in nature make perfect sense according to their gods’ rules. And Greek Mythology influences western countries so much; many culture are originated from Greek Mythology ; even now we can still hear many Greek Mythology characters’ name in modern POP songs. Those stories are really interesting and the relationship among so many gods and goddess is so complicated. I really respect those ancient people for their great creation, imagination, and creativity.
Dislike?
The thing I dislike is that relationship among those gods is too complicated so that sometimes I really got confused with all of those gods. Zeus had too many children. Throughout this book, most of the minor gods or the characters exist are Zeus’ relatives or descendants. Moreover, those Greek names are too hard for me to memorized and read. Why are Greeks’ names all so long and difficult to read?
Learned?
I learned many methods to learn a book from this Greek Mythology unit. In this unit, we tried Myth circles first, which is a discussion group of 4-5 people; everyone has a job to do. After a few trials, we used another way to learn the articles. It’s called Socratic seminar. Everyone got together and discussed the stories, what was confusing, what was interesting. I prefer Socratic seminar to Myth circles. I think Socratic seminar is more efficient and everyone can get to talk.
