Just thought some people might be interested in looking at myths from around the world. Here’s a link to my blog with a post about it.
The site I am recommending is called Mythic Journeys and there are about 10 free cultural myths. There are lesson plans, worksheets (comprehension) and good teacher materials. You can buy a CDRom that has more cultures than Yoruba. There is a lot of opportunity for cooperative learning using this programme.
For those who don’t know, Yoruba is the name of a language spoken in Nigeria but it’s also the name of a ethnic group. The other main ethnic group in Nigeria is called Ibo.

Hope someone tries out the lesson ideas! I’m not teaching that age group this year so I can’t try them out myself!

Thanks for the shout out. I can’t imagine that one day my blog will be as widely read as yours. I’m going to hang the posters (both in English and Irish) around my house for my kids!
Cool! Free stuff is great!
