As part of the students’ exploration of ancient civilization, the grade fives have been learning all about mythology, especially stories from Greece. We discussed what a myth is, why they exist and what they mean. To make myths more meaningful to them, they wrote their very own myths. We have amazing authors in ISW’s grade five! We have stories about heroes, heroines, the northern lights, rainbows, monsters and lots of gods and goddesses. Pretty great stuff! The students also designed their own cover page to illustrate their story.
Students will share their myth with the class next Friday. Your child will take his or hers home with them after October 7th.
Some examples of the students’ work are below. Please take a look.
