準備学習 Active participation is essential in order to understand what myths are and the function they play for societies and individuals. Students will read both required books and articles on reserve in the library, and prepare for discussions. Students will spend several hours outside of class doing the reading and preparing for discussions each week. Readings and homework assignments must be completed before class. The required presentation is a group project. Quizzes will be given on readings, vocabulary, material covered in class, and group presentations. Research and writing for the research paper will take additional time. Some class time will be devoted to the research paper, but most of the research and writing will be completed outside of class.
Through lectures, discussions, readings, worksheets, story telling, research papers, and presentations, students will come to understand “what is a myth,” “what are the major mythic themes,” and “what is the purpose of myths.”
