Pokémon, Mythology, and Culture: Vikings and Norse Mythology
Pokémon, Mythology, and Culture: Vikings and Norse Mythology
There are more than 800 different types of Pokemon in the form of cards, TV shows, and games. How did the Pokemon creators come up with their ideas? Some are based on mythology! In this class, we'll explore some Pokemon that might have been inspired by the monsters and gods of Norse Mythology, as well as some references to Viking culture and history.
This course includes four recorded presentations, as well an extension activity that allows for deeper exploration of the topic and student interaction. In the end, students can create their own Pokemon, based on a creature from Norse Mythology that has not inspired any Pokemon yet, then share it on the course page if they desire.
Please note that this is not meant to be a comprehensive overview of the Vikings or Norse Mythology. Instead, our focus will be on the aspects that overlap with Pokemon. Students don't need any prior knowledge of Pokemon, Vikings, or Norse Mythology to enroll in this class, but it will certainly enhance their enjoyment of the material.
