These detailed course / revision notes were specially written to give GCSE Classical Civilization students a comprehensive understanding of the key knowledge from the specification for Myth and Religion: OCR GCSE Classical Civilisation (9-1) Gods The Universal Hero: Heracles/Hercules Religion and the City: Temples Myth and the City: Foundation Stories Festivals Myth and Symbols of Power Death and Burial Journeying to the Underworld These extensive notes are especially useful for students whose note-taking in lesson isn’t as good as others, or whose organisational skills mean they are missing notes/handouts on certain topics / areas. These notes will certainly help reduce the time it takes them to catch up with their peers, and also students like to use these as a checklist of topics to go into in further detail. They give peace of mind that every corner of the specification/syllabus has been covered. These notes can be given to students to work through at their own pace, or split up and given to students as and when each part of the content is studied throughout the course. As the teacher I found it useful to go through the notes with my students as they highlighted and annotated them with anything extra I wanted to give them according to their level. The notes though are comprehensive and work just as well as a stand alone revision aid as they do an in-class resource. Hopefully these notes help to save your students (and you!) some time in the hectic run up to exams. Thanks for taking a look :)

A revision checklist for The Homeric World unit of GCSE Classical Civilisation (OCR).

This is an full and original translation by Julian Morgan of the Frogs, by Aristophanes. This version was performed on May 7th 2016 in the Aula of the European School of Karlsruhe. The play is a masterpiece of fifth century Greek comedy, written at the end of an era when Athens was overwhelmed by the combined forces of Sparta and Persia. It is a piece of wonderful escapism, which helped to create a short respite for the doomed folk of a great city; people who knew they were facing meltdown. It is perhaps the last of the great Greek comedies, where freedom of speech was unrestricted and nobody cared which figures in public life were insulted or how. The main character is Dionysus, god of the theatre. His quest is to go to the Underworld and bring one of the great dead poets of Athens back to life, so the city can be saved by using his advice. Along the way, he meets a range of characters, in a journey where his cowardice and ineptitude are always prominently on display. Even the gods were fair game for the comedians of Athens, it seems. There is vulgarity in abundance here - be warned!

This is a colour PDF of 12 Roman gods and goddesses, featuring short descriptions of each with a space for students to insert the Greek equivalent name. These could be used in many ways, for example, they could form the basis of a top trumps-type card made by students, as a hand-out for exercise books following some introductory work, or cut up and used in a poster. Each character is described in terms of their “job description”, “relatives” and “facts”, with their symbol displayed next to them on the card.

This powerpoint can be used to teach a lesson about Ancient Roman food and drink. The first activity requires accompanying pictures of the food in the columns. The map explains where the food that the food the Romans did not know about comes either from countries that the Romans did not conquer or a time period after the Romans. The Roman dinner party invitation activity should be accompanied by the Cambridge Latin Course worksheet on Roman dinner-parties. This lesson can be adapted for KS2 pupils and also for Year 9 or pupils that require more challenging work.
