What do ancient myths and modern movies have in common?
More than you think.
Mythology to Modern Heroes takes students on a powerful journey through the stories that have shaped civilizations across time. From Greek gods and Norse legends to Hawaiian traditions and modern films, students explore the universal patterns of storytelling that define what it means to be human.
At the center of this course is one transformative idea:
The Hero’s Journey.
Students don’t just study stories. They analyze, compare, challenge, and ultimately create their own
What This Course Covers
This flexible, semester-long high school course blends:
World Literature
Comparative Cultural Analysis
Critical Thinking & Writing
Creative Storytelling & Multimedia Projects
Students explore mythology from multiple cultures, including:
Greek
Norse
Hawaiian
Native American
Modern storytelling (film, media, and beyond)
They examine how different cultures define:
Heroism
Sacrifice
Transformation
Good vs. evil
Humanity’s relationship with nature
And they ask a deeper question:

Cross-cultural comparison and critical thinking
Understanding narrative structure and archetypes

Debate ideas, not just repeat them
Create, not just consume
The course follows a facilitator model, meaning:
👉 You do NOT need to be an expert in mythology or literature to teach it
👉 Everything is structured for discussion, exploration, and guided discovery

Integrated Human Biology Anatomy, Physiology, Natural Medicine, Exercise & Nutrition
A Complete Full-Year Homeschool Course
Written by From Earth to Sky Education
Integrated Human Biology is a comprehensive, high school–level, full-year homeschool curriculum that delivers five complete courses in one integrated program — for the price of one.
Instead of purchasing separate curricula for biology, health, fitness, nutrition, and natural medicine, this course unifies them into a single, cohesive, academically rigorous learning experience.
Students don’t learn in fragments — they learn in systems.
This is not a textbook-only program. It is a living curriculum built on inquiry, hands-on learning, discussion, journaling, movement, research, and real-world application.
Five Courses in One Integrated Program
This curriculum integrates:
Anatomy
Physiology
Natural Medicine

Five full courses. One curriculum. One price. One integrated learning experience.
What Makes This Course Different
Holistic Systems-Based Learning
Students explore how body systems interact — how nutrition affects hormones, how movement impacts immunity, how stress influences digestion, and how natural medicine supports physiological balance.

An 18-Week Homeschool Curriculum
Transform your student from passive viewer to perceptive film analyst with this comprehensive cinema studies course. By examining Hollywood's greatest classics alongside today's most acclaimed films, students discover that the art of storytelling has evolved dramatically while its core principles remain timeless.
What Students Will Learn
This course teaches students to "read" film the way they read literature. Through carefully paired classic and modern films, students master the visual language of cinema: composition, camera movement, editing, sound design, lighting, and narrative structure. They learn to analyze why certain shots create tension, how color conveys emotion, and what separates good filmmaking from great filmmaking.
Course Highlights
Students watch and analyze films including Citizen Kane, The Wizard of Oz, Casablanca, Rear Window, and Lawrence of Arabia paired with modern counterparts like The Social Network, La La Land, Knives Out, Get Out, and Dunkirk. Each pairing illuminates how filmmakers across generations approach similar storytelling challenges.
Hands-On Learning
This is not a sit-and-watch course. Students maintain detailed film analysis journals, create storyboards, experiment with camera techniques using their smartphones, design their own lighting setups, write original scenes, and complete a capstone project where they produce their own short film, create a video essay, or remake a classic scene with their own interpretation.
Skills That Transfer
The analytical and creative skills developed in this course extend far beyond film appreciation. Students strengthen critical thinking, visual literacy, persuasive writing, research skills, and creative problem-solving. They learn to support arguments with evidence, identify bias in media, and communicate complex ideas clearly.
What's Included
The complete curriculum provides everything you need: weekly lesson plans with clear daily structure, vocabulary instruction, discussion guides, 12 detailed worksheets, journal prompts for 61 entries, research paper guidelines, and final project options with assessment rubrics. Simply add the films and press play.
Weekly Structure
Day 1: Film screening with structured journal response (90-120 minutes) Day 2: Technique study, vocabulary, and discussion (60-90 minutes) Day 3: Creative activities and hands-on application (60-90 minutes)
Perfect For
Students who love movies and want to understand them more deeply. Students who need an engaging fine arts or English elective credit. Future filmmakers, writers, actors, or media professionals. Visual learners who connect with story through images. Any high schooler ready to see familiar entertainment through entirely new eyes.
