Unit 2: In this second unit, students dive deeply into mythology. Students will closely read multiple myths and use informational text to better understand the elements and themes of the myths they read. Students write an analytical mini-essay identifying the elements of mythology present in the myth, describing a theme of the myth, and explaining how key details contribute to the theme. In the second half of the unit, students will read, think, talk, and write about the myths alluded to in The Lightning Thief. The end of unit assessment is a literary analysis.
