Description

In this unit, pupils discuss and explore the story 'Marcy and the Riddle of the Sphinx'. They will develop their understanding of the features of a modern myth. Finally, pupils will explore the key themes in the text and develop a personal response.

This unit uses and builds on pupils' knowledge and understanding of a quest narrative, which was explored in the prior unit 'The Moon Dragons'. In this unit, pupils will read another quest narrative interwoven with themes of mythology. Pupils will identify and explore the key themes within the text and develop their confidence in sharing their interpretations and opinions through dicussions with others. This unit prepares pupils for further exploration of modern myths in the future unit 'Arthur and the Golden Rope', where pupils will draw comparisons between texts.
