Mask of Dreams
R L McNulty |
Session IV features "The Mask of Dreams," a mystery for ages 9 to 13 that draws on Greek myths about Morpheus and Oneiros, two ancient gods of dream. A mask of unknown origins has some secret powers that unlock the dream world. This story is a tried-and-true adventure guaranteed to augment the detectives' knowledge of Greek mythology. One 4th grade teacher friend of mine uses "Mask of Dreams" every year during her unit on Greek myths.
The activities this week include making our own two-sided masks of dreams. One side represents a happy dream and the other represents a nightmare. Morpheus also challenges the detectives to a shadow puppet duel in the world of dreams--and parents, family and friends will get to see the duel on Friday at our usual 3:30 presentation!
