GREEK MYTHS KS3 THE JUDGEMENT OF PARIS - GREEK GODS AND PAPER 1 AND 2 LANGUAGE SKILLS

Please note: resource assumes you have a copy of the Anthony Horowitz retelling of the Greek Myths, or at least the Judgement of Paris chapter. This is a range of activities that would take 2 or 3 lessons, looking at the greek gods and working through the various stories within this myth. First activity is to match the pictures of the gods in this story with their correct descriptions. Answers supplied for easy marking. Watch 10 minute clip on the greek gods. Activity 2 is to plan Peleus and Thetis’ wedding using information from the story. Next, students examine an extract and consider how the writer uses language to build tension (English Language Paper 1 Q2 style). Find evidence to show Hera’s persuasive skills, compare the descriptions of Athena and Hera (English Paper 2 style), summarise Helen’s story using given images and choose the true statements about Troy (as in Paper 2 Q1).
