<p>An introduction to the diet of the ancient Greeks by tasting!<br /> This resource can be used at the start of a learning journey on Ancient Greece, to engage, or at the end. I have also used it the day before a ‘Fabulous Finish’ (Ancient Greek Day) where the children dressed in costumes, designed their own Greek pottery and carved in clay, held a mini Olympic games tournament and then marched into a feast, giving due honour to Zeus before eating. It worked well in this manner, because the children were already aware of the types of foods they would be sampling and why.</p> <p>The resource includes:</p> <ol> <li>Presentation on the diet of the Ancient Greeks.</li> <li>A printable Menu - edit on the ppt to include the food you have bought</li> <li>Slides to show what foods are going to be sampled</li> <li>A printout where children can rate the food, based on its appearance and texture and taste etc. (Print from ppt)</li> <li>A suggested follow up task - where children design their own menus, of Ancient Greek style food, using effusive persuasive language.</li> </ol> <p>All the food types included, are easy to source, and I found Aldi/Lidl extremely good value for 60 pupils. Most children gagged on the anchovies, but it was part of the fun - they all loved the goats cheese/greek yoghurt squeezy honey combo (and some were eating the honey simply on its own!)</p> <p>I hope you enjoy using this resource.</p>

<p>This engaging and detailed lesson enables students to gain a deep understanding of the Greek Myth ‘Theseus and The Minotaur.’ In doing so, students learn to interpret and infer the key meanings in a myth, analyse the descriptive language in a myth, and use descriptive language to describe their own ancient Greek monster.</p> <p>The lesson follows a clear, logical, bite-size learning journey, which guides students towards differentiated learning objectives. Over the course of this journey, they become able to:<br /> - Define the key terms ‘adjective’ and ‘synonym’ and use these appropriately and imaginatively to describe an image of the Minotaur;<br /> - Read the story ‘Theseus and The Minotaur’ and interpret the key meanings;<br /> - Identify, understand, and analyse the descriptive language in ‘Theseus and The Minotaur;’<br /> - Apply their understanding of descriptive techniques by creating and describing their own mythical beast, using a model example, a success criteria, and a scaffold;<br /> - Peer assess each other’s descriptive attempts.</p> <p>This resource pack includes:<br /> - A visually engaging whole-lesson PowerPoint presentation;<br /> - Paper copies and online links to the extract needed for the lesson;<br /> - Understanding Descriptive Language worksheet;<br /> - Creating a Beast Template, and model example;<br /> - A detailed lesson plan, complete with what the teacher and students should aim to achieve at each stage of the lesson.</p> <p>All images are licensed for commercial use, and are cited on the final slide of the PowerPoint.</p>

<p>Greek Myths &amp; The Odyssey Booklet perfect for Y7 but could also be used with older years but lower ability groups. The 24-page booklet with coloured pictures offers a collection of fundamental Greek myths about creation and the main gods but heavily based on episodes from ‘The Odyssey’. Could be an ideal tool to introduce young students to the universe of Greek mythology that could be later exploited in a subsequent learning unit centered on Heroes.</p>
