The MythQuest Learning process begins with a story. As we read through the story day by day, we discover various aspects of the culture. The children are encouraged to imagine what it would be like to live in that place through dramatic play or "STORYPLAY" and through various activities and crafts.
The LESSON PLANS offer a structure to follow as the story unfolds. You'll notice that each step or ACT of the lesson plans has links to the resources associated with that lesson. Click on the links at the top for the resources, and use the links on the sidebar or on the lotus petals for each unit.
In each lesson plan we alternate between the teacher-led storytelling of the LEGEND, and dramatic play using the script provided under DRAMA. Some lessons offer suggestions for improvisation or “Storyplay.”
The IMAGES provided can be projected in the classroom to set the scene for each ACT. There are also suggestions for discussion, as well as ideas for activities, crafts, recipes, music & dance, and information about life in the culture being explored.
Follow the lesson plans provided, or explore the site on your own and choose from the resources as you go along.
