MYP 1: Norse Mythology: Ragnarok Prophecy

  Dear MYP 1 learners, Every culture has stories that help explain the world—how it began, how it changes, and even how it might end. In our final mythology lesson, we bring together the three traditions we have explored:  Hindu, Greek, and Norse mythology . Our journey concludes with  Ragnarök , the Norse prophecy of the "Twilight of the Gods." Unlike many stories where heroes defeat evil and live happily ever after, Ragnarök tells us that even the gods cannot escape fate.

MYP 1: Unit 4 Lesson 8: Ethical Considerations in Media

 Dear students Media is everywhere — on our phones, televisions, posters, and websites. Media helps us learn, connect, and stay informed. But with this power comes responsibility . Ethics means knowing the difference between right and wrong . When media is ethical, it is truthful, fair, respectful, and responsible . Ethical media does not spread false information, hurt people’s feelings, or invade someone’s privacy. Even students are media creators. Every time we post, share, or comment, we make a choice.

Revisit the lesson here .  Happy Learning,  Ms. Risha Kalra
