This resource includes a 32-slide lesson designed to introduce Greek Myths and Legends to students, accompanied by a short story in which the key Greek Gods are established.
The lesson aims to introduce the conventions of Greek myths and the most significant characters of the legends. Storytelling and myth-making are explored, as is the influence of Greek mythos on our own modern culture.
Students then read the story of ‘Zeus and His Mighty Company’, considering the characterisation of the Greek Gods.
Tasks, discussion points, and questions are included for students. A research task ends the lesson either as a class-based or homework activity.
The lesson works as an introduction to any unit of work on Greek mythology, or could feature as part of a larger unit on storytelling, heroes, or legends.
This lesson is ideal for KS3 or upper-KS2.

There's a lot of information and the slides are clear, but the lesson is presented in a, "Here are the facts, now do this" sort of way, rather than providing opportunities for the students to find stuff out on their own through smaller activities. The lesson is 32 slides long because 14 of those slides are the names and pictures of various gods and goddesses. I think the slides contain great info and useful ideas, but it could be better structured to engage students more.
