Description

In this unit, pupils read and explore 'A Journey through Greek Myths'. They will develop their understanding of the features of Greek myths and read and discuss three different stories. Finally, pupils will compare myths and discuss themes.

This unit uses and builds on pupils' knowledge and understanding of myths, which were explored in the prior unit 'Marcy and the Riddle of the Sphinx'. In this unit, pupils will examine and discuss the features of a traditional myth. They will read and explore a range of well-known examples, building their comprehension through rich discussions and questioning. This unit prepares pupils for 'Arthur and the Golden Rope', where they will extend their understanding of myths by reading and exploring a modern myth.
