Greek and Norse Mythology Unit Study Guide for Homeschool Ages 7-11

You're planning a mythology unit for your elementary students, but you're staring at a blank calendar wondering where to start. How do you organize four weeks of lessons? Which myths should you teach first? How do you keep kids engaged without spending hours prepping worksheets?

This guide does the heavy lifting for you.

Inside you'll find everything needed to run a structured, age-appropriate Greek and Norse mythology unit for children ages 7-11:

• Four-week lesson plan with daily read-aloud pairings and discussion prompts
• 10 Greek myth summaries written at 3rd-5th grade reading level (no difficult language or confusing asides)
• Complete Greek pantheon reference with Olympians, Titans, and their Roman name equivalents
• Heroes and quest summaries (Perseus, Heracles, Jason, and more)
• Myth Map and Family Tree templates you can print and annotate with your students
• Discussion questions designed to deepen comprehension and spark curiosity
• Optional extension activities for advanced readers

How it works: Pick your start date this week, block out the four-week plan on your calendar, print the templates from Part 3, and you're ready to begin the first read-aloud. No flipping between five different sources. No "what comes next?" moments. Just a clear path from day one through completion.

Whether you homeschool full-time, supplement a traditional curriculum, or run a small learning co-op, this guide adapts to your schedule. Use it as written or pick and mix lessons to fit your needs.

You'll also get a Greek-Roman name cross-reference so you can confidently explain why Aphrodite and Venus are the same goddess-and why kids should care. This single reference sheet saves hours of scattered research.

The myths included cover the classics: creation stories, the Olympians, quests, and transformations. Each summary is crafted to hold a child's attention while preserving the drama and meaning of the original tales. No dumbed-down language, no sanitized versions that strip away the storytelling magic.

By the end of four weeks, your students will have a working knowledge of Greek mythology that sticks. They'll recognize references in books, movies, and other media. They'll understand why these stories mattered to ancient cultures and why we still tell them today.

Format: PDF download. Print-friendly layouts. Use on your computer, tablet, or printed pages-whatever works for your family's learning style.

This is a classroom-ready, parent-friendly resource designed by someone who has taught mythology to this age group and knows where the confusion points live.
