New Greek Mythology Materials

Before Spring Break, I completed my Greek Mythology unit with my kiddos.  I created this unit last year and I know that many of you have it.  Many thanks for your purchases!  :)

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!  :)
