Ancient Greek and Roman Myths in Everyday Life

Benefits of Technological vs. Traditional Presentation

A document camera, such as an ELMO, used in conjunction with an LCD projector and a screen, allows a whole class to see illustrations, articles, etc. It allows the teacher to write in titles or comments as well as to easily magnify material.

By searching the Internet for references to Ancient Greek and Roman mythology, the student can find many references quickly; however, computer searching should not replace a concerted effort to be aware of mythical references in all environments.

Language Resource Center Usage

One session in the language resource center could be devoted to searching for references to Ancient Greek and Roman mythology in everyday life. Using a search engine, such as Google, the students could type in the name of a mythological character. (Students could be assigned characters by lot.) The results of a search will often be multitudinous and surprising. Information should be shared and added to the pertinent collection.
