This volume of the "Reaching Olympus" series, "Tales of Titans,
Gods, and Mortals," is made up of 11 script-stories that re-tell
favorite myths from Greek mythology. Readers can act out characters
such as the mighty Heracles (Hercules), the beautiful Aphrodite,
the foolish King Midas, and the monstrous Minotaur. Fun additions
include a Mount Olympus Find-It picture puzzle and an interactive
Tournament of the Gods game, where players create a mythology-based
character and do battle with one another.
The "Reaching Olympus" series uses classroom-tested Reader's
Theater script-stories specifically designed for 6-12th grade
students to re-tell the great myths and legends of world mythology.
Reader's Theater is an innovative and powerful teaching tool that
allows students to break away from silent reading and actively
participate in an "acting out" experience where words and myth come
to life
Each script-story is prefaced by a 2-page teacher guide
providing a synopsis of the myth, relevant background information
and commentary on the myth, anticipatory questions for pre-story
discussion, essential questions to help analyze the "big ideas"
behind each myth, recall questions to check reading comprehension,
and instructions for teaching commonly-tested terms and literary
devices using each script. Appendices include a glossary of
important names and a pronunciation guide.
Zachary Hamby is an author, illustrator, and experienced
educator. He has spoken at many conferences including the NCTE
National Convention on the many benefits of using Reader's Theater
in the secondary classroom. He currently teaches high school in the
Ozarks where he lives with his wife and children.
