Maha Yuga: Reading and Notes

I gave a brief introduction to Hindu mythology and students divided into four groups. Each group, jigsaw style, was assigned a reading about one of the four yugas in a Maha Yuga, or Great Age. Students recorded their notes, then presented their piece to the class. I wrote notes on the board and students recorded them in charts.
