For select classroom titles, we also provide Teaching Guides with discussion and quiz questions to prompt student engagement.

How to use

This resource can be used as supplemental teacher material or as a primary basis for literature study to:

  • draw students into a text with pre-reading questions and warm-up prompts, maintain engagement and promote analysis with free-writing or discussion, and assess knowledge and comprehension with quizzes.
  • ensure deeper understanding and enjoyment of the literature with activities for all learning types.
  • stretch students’ critical thinking and writing skills with differentiated essay topics.

Note to Teachers: To support lesson-planning, connections to the work’s primary themes are noted throughout this resource (The Roles of Mortal Women and Female Goddesses, The Importance of Honor, and Hubris: The Fatal Flaw).
