Two study maps for pupils to complete: firstly, considering how typical Circe is of the characters whom Odysseus meets; and, secondly, a detailed study map on the theme of xenia, with a completed version for use as teacher's answers. I found that these worked well as whole-class discussion once pupils had formulated their own responses, either in groups or independently. I composed these maps with the purpose of pupils then using their outcomes as structured plans for writing practice essays.

Three activities, covering Homeric similes and epithets, as well as exploring the role of the Greek gods in the text through a 'Mastermind'-style lesson. I have used all of these resources for both GCSE and A-level study of the Odyssey.

An introductory handout for pupils embarking upon study of the Odyssey, covering oral tradition and the background of the Trojan War, accompanied by a book-by-book summary of the text. I have used these resources at both GCSE and A-level.

Four handouts, prepared for KS5 study of Heaney's translation of Sophocles' Antigone, The Burial at Thebes, detailing Classical Theatre and Drama, as well as Greek gods and tyrants.

A comprehensive study map in two parts, addressing the statement that Odysseus's men all die because of his poor leadership skills. Based upon a past-paper mark scheme, I look at the argument from both sides, covering books 9 - 12. These study maps can be completed by pupils individually as revision. I would recommend spending class time letting pupils gather their responses in pairs or groups at first, and then chair a whole-class discussion based upon my completed versions, included here as teacher's answers. Pupils can then produce a final version of the completed study map for their reference.

A handout guiding pupils through answering exam questions on the extent to which the suitors deserve to die, and on the importance of Telemachus in the Odyssey.

Two simple study maps for pupils to complete, firstly, considering themes in books 1-11 of the Odyssey, and secondly, focussing specifically on the theme of women. I have included my completed maps as teacher's answers, to facilitate whole-class discussion once pupils have formulated their own responses, either in groups or independently.

Two study maps for pupils to complete, considering the insignificance of female characters other than Athene in the Odyssey, based upon an examiner's past-paper mark scheme, looking at both sides of the argument. I have included my completed maps as teacher's answers, to facilitate whole-class discussion once pupils have formulated their own responses, either in groups or independently. I composed these maps with the purpose of pupils then using their outcomes as structured plans for writing a practice essay.

Two study maps for pupils to complete, guiding them through the theme of fate in the Odyssey, then the role of the immortals in the text. Pupils can complete the maps independently as revision, or teachers can lead the class through them in lesson time. Alternatively, what worked well for me was getting pupils to work in groups to produce responses, then in whole-class discussion, each producing a final version of the study map for their use.

A comprehensive study map in two parts, addressing the 'good' and the 'bad' servants in the Odyssey, which can be completed by pupils individually as revision. I would recommend spending class time letting pupils gather their responses in pairs or groups at first, and then chair a whole-class discussion based upon my completed versions, included here as teacher's answers. Pupils can then produce a final version of the completed study map for their reference.

End-of-book tests on books 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 of the text, including teacher's answers.

A collection of essay-writing resources including guidelines on how to approach answers, structure essays, and numerous exemplars by past pupils (with teacher annotations as well as mark schemes) covering a variety of exam questions.
