Grade 2 - Greek Myths

Greek Myths: Supplemental Guide 8 | Other Adventures of Hercules 151

Advance Preparation

Make a copy of Instructional Master 8B-1 for each student. This will be
the page for the myths about Hercules in their Greek Myths journal.

Create a Character Chart for today’s read-aloud. (See sample
chart in the lesson.)

Continue the class Gods, Mortals, and Creatures Chart. You may
wish to use the character cut-outs on Instructional Master 8A-1.
You will add to this chart as students meet the different types of
characters in the read-alouds.
