Day Three: The Creation of the Greek Mythological Universe
I. Analyze the learners: This lesson is designed for 7th
grade students at a West
Virginia middle school ranging from 12 to 14 years old. There are eighteen
students, and the male students outnumber the female students. Sixteen of the
students are Caucasian students while the remaining two students are Asian-
American. Most of the students identify themselves as Protestants; however,
there is one Buddhist student. Most of the students are visual, auditory, and
kinesthetic learners though one student has displayed a musical learning style
and has verbalized that he is able to remember content through song. Previous
learning competencies of the students include a basic and minimal knowledge
of Greek life and mythology derived from popular media such as movies, TV
shows, and books.
II. State Objective: Students will describe the primeval Greek gods and
goddesses as well as the cosmogony of the Greek mythology universe through
videos, primary sources, and blogs at the end of the unit with 100% accuracy.
III. Select methods, media, and materials: Because my students encompass a
variety of learning styles, I will incorporate different methods, media, and
materials into my lesson:
 Videos: I have two videos that will be beneficial to the lesson. The first
video discusses Hesiod’s version of the cosmogony which we will be
reading in class as a primary source. The second video is a crossover
between narration, music, and images in which the story of the
cosmogony is told.
 Primary Sources: For this lesson, I will provide two different versions of
the cosmogony. This shows the strong tradition in ancient Greece of oral
storytelling.
 Blog: For homework, students will post their biopoem on the class blog.
IV. Utilize Media and Materials: Prior to the lesson, I will post the biopoem
structure as well as my example onto the blog to show to the students during
class. This will ensure that the students know exactly what I am looking for in
this assignment. I will make enough copies of the cosmogonies we will read in
class. Also, I will review the two videos that I will be showing in class to make
sure that the content is appropriate for the students.
V. Require Learner Participation: We will begin class by reading both Hesiod and
Aristophanes’ versions of the cosmogony. I will then prompt discussion by
writing on the Smartboard two columns labeled “Similarities” and “Differences”
and ask the students to pick out these characteristics based on the readings.
We will then watch two videos to help illustrate primary sources that can be
confusing for students. After watching the video narrating the Greek creation
story, I will introduce biopoems. I will show them an example of one I wrote
about the primeval god, Eros. Requiring the students to post on the class blog
website will permit students who do not feel comfortable speaking in class a
chance to express themselves. Also, I will be able to see whether students
understood the cosmogony through information the students provided for the
biopoem.
VI. Evaluate and Revise: I will first informally assess the students’ apprehension
of the primary sources through the discussion of similarities and differences
between the cosmogonies. To formally assess the students’ knowledge on the
lesson, I will review the biopoems that will be posted to the class blog site.
How well the students incorporate the aspects of the lesson into their
biopoems will allow me to make the decision whether to revise my lesson or
not.
