A * 'Aeneid' Mindmaps (OCR A Level Classics/Classical Civilisation)
This revision resource contains six mindmaps, all on separate A4 sheets, which cover the main themes and characters of Virgil’s Aeneid - (Aeneas, Dido, Morality, War, Loss and Family) - and include critical quotations as well as context and quotes from the text. The document is therefore six pages in total, and so provides a thorough examination of the text as a whole.
These can be used in the study of A Level Classical Civilisation, which is what I was studying in 2018 when I created them. The fact that the notes are so colourful makes them especially helpful for visual learners.
If you have any questions, feel free to email alevelsuk@gmail.com If you have found this resource helpful, it would be amazing if you could leave a review! I will be uploading other A Level resources in the future.

They were created for the OCR A Level in Classical Civilisation but would be suitable for GCSE and KS3.

A* Odyssey book summaries I A Level OCR
These brightly coloured and incredibly detailed notecards provide thorough summaries of every book in Homer’s ‘Odyssey’ (Rieu translation, Penguin Books). This will ensure that you will provide accurate contextual details for every passage you analyse (the OCR A Level in Classical Civilisation, for example, requires you to note the context of every passage).
They may be printed, cut out, and stapled or tied together then used as revision cards… They are suitable for those at KS3, GCSE, AS or A Level, but were specifically designed with the OCR A Level in mind.
If you would like to see this resource in more depth, I currently have several of the summaries available for free on my TES shop, and if you would like more information email alevelsuk@gmail.com
