Description

Greek mythology continues to be an important part of the curriculum for middle and high school students and serves as an exciting source of creative inspiration. Through these 26 scripts, you can introduce students to a fascinating body of literature, and also build their oral reading and presentation skills. Each script introduces a character from Greek mythology and chronicles some of the important mythical events surrounding the figure. Students get to know well-known heroes, such as Heracles and Athena in addition to lesser known but equally fascinating figures, such as Chiron and Asclepius. A pronunciation guide for more than 300 Greek names and a detailed index make this a user-friendly resource. Grades 4-8.
