Greek Myths: Supplemental Guide 10B | Atalanta and the Golden Apples 205- Do you know someone who is skilled at something, such as
a certain kind of music, art, or sports? Try to use the word
skilled when you tell about him or her. [Ask two or three
students. If necessary, guide and/or rephrase the students’
responses: “I know someone who is skilled at .”] - What’s the word we’ve been talking about?
Use a Sharing activity for follow-up. Directions: Would you like to
be skilled at something one day? Tell your partner what you would
like to be skilled at. Then discuss with your partner what you can
do to become skilled at it. [Call on a few volunteers to share. This
may be a good opportunity to review the saying students learned
in The Ancient Greek Civilization domain, “Where there’s a will,
there’s a way” and the popular saying, “Practice makes perfect.”]
