Students encounter myths featuring heroes such as Perseus and Arjun, as well as tales about gods, goddesses, and mythical creatures like Athena's owl. These resources also reinforce vocabulary, cause-and-effect relationships, and comparing different versions of myths.
Related skills include identifying central messages, citing textual evidence, and understanding symbolism. The collection includes reading passages, graphic organizers, and interactive games.
