Dwarves craft their marvelous treasures in cavern forges, dragons
slumber on piles of stolen treasure, wizards plot revenge with
their terrible powers, and giant monsters threaten all that is
good-this is not Lord of the Rings. It is Norse mythology In this
book you will discover the rich mythology that has inspired
everything from Beowulf to the works of J.R.R. Tolkien to the Thor
superhero series. In this textbook 13 script-stories re-tell the
most popular Norse myths-tales of might Thor, wise Odin, and wily
Loki. Also included is the Saga of the Volsungs, often called the
Iliad of the Norsemen. Supplemental materials include a Ragnarok
end-of-the-world battle game for up to thirty players, a Valhalla
Find-It picture puzzle, a glossary of important characters, and a
name pronunciation guide.
The Reaching Olympus series uses classroom-tested Reader's
Theater script-stories specifically designed for 6th-12th grade
students to retell 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 share in an
"acting-out" experience where words and myth come to life Each
script is prefaced by a teacher guide providing a synopsis of the
myth, relevant background information and commentary on the myth,
anticipatory questions for pre-play 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 story.
