MYTHOLOGY
Derek McKenzie derek.mckenzie@rentonschools.us
Course Description:
Welcome to our class! I am so excited to be your Mythology teacher. This is my first year at Hazen and I am honored to be a new member of this school community. This trimester we will be learning about a vast array of mythologies from around the globe... As we move through this work, we will engage in practices such as class discussions, creative projects, creative writing, and close-reading strategies– to name a few.
Throughout this process, my hope is that you deepen your appreciation of different mythologies. I’m looking forward to getting to know you, your interests, and your goals for this trimester.
All texts will be provided in class, and online readings will be accessed here on Canvas.
