I remembered last year when I was implementing this unit, I struggled to find myths to use with my fourth graders. Have you read some of those myths? They are really "racy" so to speak for a fourth grader.
Anyway, this year, I decided to write my own myths to use in my classroom. So that is what I have done and I have it in a format that I can share with you. Yes, I have a new Greek mythology unit available in my store. This unit includes eleven myths that I have retold in a more kid-friendly version. These versions are very similar to the original, they are just rated G instead of R. LOL! Although, this unit was designed to compliment my already existing unit, it could be a stand alone unit because I did create some activities that are common core aligned for grades 3-5 to accompany the stories.
Here is the unit if you are interested in checking it out.
I have a PowerPoint that I used when I taught the story The Golden Touch. It includes the key common core vocab that I wanted to the students to learn. Also, it includes and exit slip. Because I made the PowerPoint to protect the graphics I used, I am not sure the link works. Here is the commercial that I used for the exit slip so that students would understand the allusion "the Midas touch." Click here.

Have a great weekend, ya'll! :)
