Topics covering stories, myths, fables, fairy tales, and legends
never fail to catch the imagination of children. This book focuses
on how to teach Myths and Legends from many different cultures
and time periods in a fun and engaging way. Importantly, this book
focuses on how to make sure that any project (from one lesson to
a whole week) covers multiple subjects across the curriculum.
Themes in this title are as follows: 1. Myths and legends around
the world (general outline of creatures of myth and legends as established
by different peoples); 2. Places in the story (fantasy
lands to lands where it may have happened); 3. People in the story
(good, bad, fairies, goblins, ghosts); 4. Animals in the story
(lions, horses, monsters); 5. Actions in the story (illustrating
various motives and lessons to be learnt); 6. Ancient Greek myths
and legends (famous stories and characters); 7. The Americas and
Africa (examples of peoples, animals and monsters, and lessons to
be learnt); 8. Europe, Asia and Australia (examples of peoples,

and legends (using local archives and storytellers)
