Myths and Legends
Miss Borjian - Quarter 3
Hello and Welcome to Myths and Legends!
My name is Sara Borjian, I currently teach speech and debate at Meridian High School. I’m a Boise native, and love living here, but I also love to travel and explore new places. I'm a pretty avid tennis fan, and also love watching basketball, and occasionally football. and I’m really looking forward to diving into Myths and Legends with you! My debate class focuses a lot on current events, so it will be a fun change to go back into the past.
Course Description: Myths and Legends examine folk tales, fairy tales, myths, and legends from around the world. Students will improve reading and writing skills as they become familiar with the stories that have defined cultures and explained natural phenomena.
