Myths

I have to admit something about mythology - I never understood it. The basic myths, sure, but when it came to the ones that were long and about something I had never heard before in my life, I didn't want to hear more about them. I'm trying my best in this class to have an open mind about mythology. It is proving to be difficult at some times.

Another thing I have to admit about mythology - I tried to take a class about Mythology my junior year in high school. I thought it would have been a fun class, but it turned out it was reserved for seniors only, and I couldn't participate to the highest expectations of this course. I think it was the teacher that made it seem like it would have been fun for me. But I wasn't qualified enough yet to take this course.

My opinion about mythology is I think that it depends on how teachers apply mythology to their lessons. They have to make it appealing. They have to make it fun, even though it seems to drag on and on for some myths. Other myths are short so it's hard to make them visual, but that's the challenge. So I'm looking forward to see how mythology could be incorporated in our lessons for teaching English later on.
