Stories in the Stars

This class mainly serves as a rainy-night alternative to Astronomy but is capable of standing on its own as well. The class explores the myths and stories involving the creation of the night sky and specific constellations. Students are given a cluster of stars with which they are to create a “constellation” and a story to go along with it. This class uses the creativity and imagination of the students to explore the night sky.
