What educators are saying

Thank you for creating this resource. I have a problem with keeping up with anything made of paper...seriously...I wounder if they have a name for it. LOL This digital resource is a lifesaver.
This is a useful resource for teaching about allusions. It makes the myths easy for students to understand and puts them in kid friendly language. I love all the activities and my kids enjoyed it too.

This package of engaging resources contains the following:

⭐Mythical Allusion Information A page of information describing what mythical allusions are.

⭐Mythical Allusions: A separate page of information on a variety of allusions from Greek Mythology. These can be used as class posters or as student information sheets. A separate page on each of the following allusions is included: Achilles Heel, Pandora’s Box, Weight of the World, Midas Touch, If Looks Could Kill, Cupid, Odyssey, Herculean, and Titanic.

⭐Mythical Allusion Graphic Organizer: A multi paged graphic organizer for students to record information on Mythical Allusions. Answer key provided!

⭐Mythical Allusion Foldable: All materials needed to create a fun foldable on allusions from Greek Mythology. My students can’t get enough of Greek Mythology! Many of them are familiar with the Percy Jackson stories, and are instantly engaged when we start talking about the Gods, Goddesses, and Monsters of Ancient Greece!

⭐TPT Digital EASEL Activity: A Digital EASEL version of this resource has been included, to use online with your learners. Answer keys and teacher instructions have been removed, so it is ready to assign. Text boxes have been added, so students can easily type in their answers. The foldable activity is not included in the EASEL activity, as it can't be completed in an online format.
