- B1 read fluently and demonstrate comprehension of a range of grade-appropriate literary texts, including – stories from various Aboriginal and other cultures
– stories from a variety of genres (e.g., myths, fantasy)
When teaching mythology teachers in the West will often explore European and Aboriginal mythologies, but often neglect myths from other cultures. However, there is great wealth of mythologies from all over the world that delve into universal truths.
If students were introduced to mythologies from around the world, they would gain a much richer understanding of how cultures share similarities and differences.
