Myths and Legends Knowledge Unit KS3

This is a complete knowledge unit to be used with Year 7 or 8. It provides students with some essential knowledge of a variety of myths that will prove useful for studying some of the GCSE Literature texts that they will encounter at Key Stage 4. Each myth has a set of 4-6 knowledge questions with multiple choice answers that students repeatedly return to and there is a final knowledge quiz at the end of the unit as well as a more lengthy written assessment. Whilst exploring the myths, students will cover a variety of essential skills: writing about language and structure; being able to summarise a text; evaluating a text; comparing texts. As well as this, they will complete some of their own descriptive writing. There is an independent research project that runs alongside the unit for students to complete as homework. All lessons are complete with powerpoints and the myths can be printed out into a separate booklet.
