ReadAloud Anthology for Greek Myths contains ten daily lessons, each ofwhich is composed of two distinct parts, so that the lesson may bedivided into smaller chunks of time and presented at different intervalsduring the day. The entire lesson will require a total of sixty minutes.This domain includes a Pausing Point following Lesson 6. At theend of the domain, a Domain Review, a Domain Assessment,and Culminating Activities are included to allow time to review,reinforce, assess, and remediate content knowledge. You shouldspend no more than fourteen days total on this domain.Week OneDay 1# Day 2Day 3Day 4#Day 5#Lesson 1A: “The TwelveGods of Mount Olympus”(40 min.)Lesson 2A: “Prometheusand Pandora” (40 min.)Lesson 3A: “Demeter andPersephone” (40 min.)Lesson 4A: “Arachne theWeaver” (40 min.)Lesson 5A: “Theseus andthe Minotaur” (40 min.)Lesson 1B: Extensions(20 min.)Lesson 2B: Extensions(20 min.)Lesson 3B: Extensions(20 min.)Lesson 4B: Extensions(20 min.)Lesson 5B: Extensions(20 min.)60 min.60 min.60 min.60 min.60 min.Day 8Day 9Week TwoDay 6#Day 7# #Day 10Lesson 6A: “Daedalusand Icarus” (40 min.)Pausing Point (40 min.)Lesson 7A: “Hercules”(40 min.)Lesson 8A: “OtherAdventures of Hercules”(40 min.)Lesson 9A: “Oedipus andthe Riddle of the Sphinx”(40 min.)Lesson 6B: Extensions(20 min.)Pausing Point (20 min.)Lesson 7B: Extensions(20 min.)Lesson 8B: Extensions(20 min.)Lesson 9B: Extensions(20 min.)60 min.60 min.60 min.60 min.60 min.Week ThreeDay 11#Day 12#Day 13 Day 14#Lesson 10A: “Atalantaand the Golden Apples”(40 min.)Domain Review (40 min.)Domain Assessment(40 min.)Culminating Activities(40 min.)Lesson 10B: Extensions(20 min.)Domain Review (20 min.)Domain Assessment(20 min.)Culminating Activities(20 min.)60 min.60 min.60 min.60 min.

Wright (Core KnowledgeFoundation, 2005) ISBN: 978-1890517748Why Greek Myths Are ImportantThis domain builds on The Ancient Greek Civilization domain andwill introduce students to several well-known Greek myths andmany well-known mythical characters. Students will learn that theancient Greeks worshipped many gods and goddesses, and thatthe twelve they believed lived on Mount Olympus, the home of thegods, were the most powerful. Students will learn the definitionof a myth: a fictional story, once thought to be true that tried toexplain mysteries of nature and humankind. They will also learnabout myths that include supernatural beings or events, and thatmyths give insight into the ancient Greek culture. Students willhear about Prometheus and Pandora, Demeter and Persephone,Arachne the Weaver, the Sphinx, and Hercules, among others.References to Greek mythology are still culturally relevant today,and this domain will give students a frame of reference with whichto understand literary allusions and the meanings of common wordsand expressions, such as herculean. It will also better enable themto understand modern retellings of these ancient stories.It is important to note that the content of some myths mightunsettle some children. While these versions of the stories have2Greek Myths Introduction 2013 Core Knowledge Foundation

been adapted from the originals, and most potentially unsettlingdetails have been eliminated, some students may still be sensitiveto details contained in the versions presented here. You maywant to remind students periodically that these myths are fiction.Please preview all read-alouds and lessons in this domain beforepresenting them to students and feel free to substitute a tradebook from the list of recommended trade books if you feel doingso would be more appropriate for your students. As you read,use the same strategies that you have been using when readingthe read-aloud selections in this Anthology—pause and askoccasional questions; rapidly clarify critical vocabulary withinthe context of the read-aloud; etc. After you finish reading thetrade book, lead students in a discussion as to how the story orinformation in the book relates to the read-alouds in this domain.The content in this domain is reinforced through the fictionalnarrative writing genre in the last four lessons of the domain.What Students Have Already Learned in Core KnowledgeLanguage Arts During Kindergarten and Grade 1The following domains, and the specific core content that wastargeted in those domains, are particularly relevant to the readalouds students will hear in Greek Myths. This backgroundknowledge will greatly enhance students’ understanding of theread-alouds they are about to enjoy:Stories (Kindergarten) Listen to and then demonstrate familiarity with stories, includingthe ideas they express Explain that fiction can be in many different forms, includingfolktales, trickster tales, and tall tales Identify the setting of a given story Identify the characters of a given story Identify the plot of a given storyKings and Queens (Kindergarten) Describe what a king or queen does Describe a royal familyGreek Myths Introduction 2013 Core Knowledge Foundation3

Seasons and Weather (Kindergarten) Name the four seasons in cyclical order, as experienced in theUnited States, and correctly name a few characteristics of eachseason Characterize winter as generally the coldest season, summeras generally the warmest season, and spring and autumn astransitional seasonsFables and Stories (Grade 1) Identify character, plot, and setting as basic story elementsAstronomy (Grade 1) Describe how people sometimes tell stories about the moon andstarsCore Vocabulary for Greek MythsThe following list contains all of the core vocabulary words inGreek Myths in the forms in which they appear in the domain.These words appear in the read-alouds or, in some instances, inthe “Introducing the Read-Aloud” section at the beginning of thelesson. Boldfaced words in the list have an associated Word Workactivity. The inclusion of the words on this list does not meanthat students are immediately expected to be able to use all ofthese words on their own. However, through repeated exposurethroughout all lessons, they should acquire a good understandingof most of these words and begin to use some of them inconversation.4Greek Myths Introduction 2013 Core Knowledge Foundation

These questionsgenerally address Reading Standards for Literature 2–5 (RL.2.2–RL.2.5) and Reading Standards for Informational Text 2–4 and 6(RI.2.2–RI.2.4; RI.2.6).Evaluative questions ask students to build upon what they havelearned from the text using analytical and application skills;these questions are also text dependent, but require students toparaphrase and/or refer back to the portion(s) of the read-aloudthat substantiate the argument they are making or the opinion theyare offering. Evaluative questions might ask students to describehow reasons or facts support specific points in a read-aloud, whichaddresses Reading Standards for Informational Text 8 (RI.2.8).Evaluative questions might also ask students to compare andcontrast information presented within a read-aloud or between twoor more read-alouds, addressing Reading Standards for Literature 9(RL.2.9) and Reading Standards for Informational Text 9 (RI.2.9).The Tell It Again! Read-Aloud Anthologies include complex texts,thus preparing students in these early years for the increasedvocabulary and syntax demands aligned texts will present in latergrades.
