The audiobook Greek Mythology, Gods & Goddesses Explained!: Fascinating Stories of Greek Gods, Goddesses & Heroes Revealing the Birth of Ancient Greek Mythology & Its Impact on the Modern World by Jeffrey Houston, Narrated by Mike Norgaard was one I have been looking forward to listening to for some time now. I have taught high school Spanish and English Lit and Composition for the past 18 years, which includes a marking period of Greek Mythology embedded in our Freshmen curriculum, through the teaching of The Illiad and The Odyssey. Let me start by saying that when I was in high school, I did NOT enjoy reading these two texts. I think it may have been because I had a difficult time understanding them. When I began teaching, I learned that not only would be revisiting the two texts I dreaded the most, but I also would be responsible for teaching them to teenagers who were in the position I once was. No! I vowed to do everything in my power to help them feel successful and enjoy themselves throughout this long unit of study. Through trial and error of many different strategies and techniques, I'm proud to say that our 9 week period on Greek Mythology is now a favorite among incoming high school students! Yay! I wanted to listen to this audiobook to see if there were any new ideas, stories, and/or information I could add to my lessons or bring back to the classroom.
This audiobook is just over an hour long.
