This program explores this classic of Greek mythology following the same in-depth approach used in other Memoria Press guides. Designed to be used for one year (although you may choose to go faster by combining days), each of the 30 lessons is broken down into five days. Students read the selected pages from D Aulaires Book of Greek Myths on the first day. On the second day, students familiarize themselves with the Facts to Know - key people, places, and objects. The goal is for students to memorize these items and retain them through the end of the year, although there is no final test in this program. The third section holds vocabulary words for students to discuss and define with their teacher and may also be used as spelling words. The fourth day holds comprehension questions, written to capture the essence of the characters and the main ideas of each story, which encourage students to think about the reading and provide meaningful answers. The final section uses the fantastic illustrations found in D Aulaires Book of Greek Myths as a springboard for further discussion questions. Review lessons appear after every fifth lesson; all vocabulary and facts from the preceding lessons are tested and recurring activities encourage children to draw a picture of their favorite god or story and work on a list of things from today which borrow the names or symbols of Greek gods and goddesses. A pronunciation guide in the back breaks down all the tricky Greek names for smoother reading. The teacher s guide is identical to the student book except the answers are filled in."
