This is a full unit for year 8 English (though suitable for Y7 and Y9 ) . It explores the events, individuals and Gods of Ancient Greece. Many of the themes of the myths which tell these stories are fantastic for laying the groundwork for some of the AQA literature texts that pupils will study in Y10 and Y11 (including tragedy, love, greed, duality, heroism, loyalty). Pupils will engage with these themes and complete a number of tasks on them. The unit also focuses on early preparation for questions on both language papers (including language and structural analysis, summarising and comparing texts, and expressing an opinion). There is a scheme of work, glossary, assessment and 14 lessons, all of which are self-explanatory from a teacher’s point of view.

A six page document explaining the three declensions in Ancient Greek, with example for each.
