Modernising Greek Myths is an 8-lesson English scheme of work. It is intended for a Secondary KS3 classroom - years 7-9, but could also be adapted for use at KS2. As a narrative writing scheme of work, the unit introduces pupils to 3 key activities based on the myths themselves. The scheme includes an engaging and easy-to-follow 83-slide ppt with teaching notes, classroom worksheets and exemplar material.
This unit is short, versatile and dynamic. It begins by providing an overview of Ancient Greek mythology and culture, introducing pupils to key Greek gods as well as Ancient Greek inventions. The following lessons introduce pupils to 3 key Greek Myths: Pandora’s Box, the Myth of Narcissus and the Fall of Icarus, which pupils explore through film clips, worksheet acitivites and creative writing activities. The scheme moves on to cover the basics of successful story writing and helps to scaffold the unit’s main learning outcome: to modernise one of the 3 myths in order to make it your own.
Answers to all questions are provided on the master ppt and exemplar materials are also provided.
