Thor: Ragnarok Teaching Packet (Viewing Guide + Norse Mythology Worksheets)
After teaching mythology for nearly twenty years, I have finally found a film that works as a good companion film for our Norse mythology unit: Marvel Studios' Thor: Ragnarok (2017). Although superhero films may seem like mindless action, Thor: Ragnarok adapts its Norse mythology source material in interesting ways.

Some students will gravitate toward drawing Whitman on his black stallion, or an evening at Walden Pond...others will sketch the clanging clock at Prince P
