Mythology and conjunctions

Today, we discussed what we thought myths were and brainstormed a list of myths that we already knew. Then, we read the Greek myth Persephone as a class and discussed what we thought the purpose of the myth was as well as what about a myth was similar and different from a regular fiction story.

Then, we introduced conjunctions- both correlative and coordinating. Students have conjunction practice: worksheets "The Conjunction" and "Correlative Conjunctions."

Homework: Conjunction practice sheets. Bring in any myths you have at home!
