Last year, my school created the Classics Club for Upper School students who have an interest for studying and learning more about Latin, mythology, and history. Last month, I was invited as a guest to teach the members, who were primarily 9th Graders, a bit about mythology. I gave a basic lecture about the main 12 Olympians, who they were, what they ruled over, and a few animals/objects that represent them (i.e. Zeus and this thunderbolts, Poseidon and horses, etc.). I also talked about the 9 Muses, the 3 Fates, and other primordial beings. I truly enjoyed teaching them and they were a good audience. Its like I could physically feel their attention and I was stunned by their previous knowledge of mythology (mainly due to the Percy Jackson series). I have been invited to come back again and next time I will give them a mini-quiz to see how much they remember :)
