Description:

Intended for classroom use, The Big Myth presents creation myths from around the world. Ancient and more contemporary cultures come alive on these pages, which use Flash animation to draw students into the world of mythology. Extended exercises and a pantheon of gods will aide students in a more in-depth study of cultures from Aztec to Norse. A teachers guide section also accompanies this site.
