A Stitch in Time: Civilizations and Storytelling
by Apple Distinguished Educators
This course material is only available in the iTunes U app on iPhone or iPad.
Course Description
In this course, students investigate how myth and storytelling fuel the rise of civilizations. Students will be reading The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan and studying the early years of Roman civilization to gain a background grasp of civilizations.
At the same time, students will be researching their own choice of ancient civilization and a hero from it to create their own abstract representation of the hero's quest through a quilt pattern and a comic.
