ANNOUNCEMENT

The popularity of these resources has been completely unprecedented, as has the number of requests for help with setting up Classics Clubs and even new Departments! I’m a part-time teacher balancing my job with childcare and Greek Myth Comix, and I simply don’t have the time to dedicate to the admin generated (all of which has been done for free, without any charity partnership or commission).

So, regretfully, I am now limiting direct resource sharing to Homeschoolers only, for whom there is very little existing provision. This will allow me to spend less time on admin and more on making the Homeschooling hub a useful space!

If you are a teacher, you will still be able to find my resources at their new home in the Classics Library – make an account and navigate here to find them: https://www.theclassicslibrary.com/gcse-classical-civilisation/

If you are interested in setting up a new Classics Club or Department, you should contact Classics For All for help.

If you are a homeschooler, come over to your page and get access!

classroom resources

I have been teaching the Myth and Religion and Homeric World/Odyssey topics since the inception of the new OCR GCSE Classical Civilisation specification, and writing and re-writing resources to suit the wide range of ability of my students. I wrote about the course for Quinquennium in two posts: The Teacher’s View and How I Taught The Course .

These Google Drive folders, currently shared with 90 ~~180~~ 220 teachers/departments and Homeschooling parents also teaching these Units, represent an updated (and updating) set of resources for teaching the entire course, with the occasional help of the Bloomsbury textbook. I am extremely pleased to have also had them shared by Advocating Classics Education (ACE) and included on the Classics For All Resources page for recommended use by new teachers setting up Classics in their schools. They are also listed on the Warwick Classics Network.

What you’ll typically find in each topic folder:

PowerPoint lessons going through the topics
Topic-specific pupil notesheet packs (workbooks) to accompany PowerPoint lessons (.pub, .pdf for printing .doc or typable .pdf for computer-users/remote teaching)
Separate folders containing the Prescribed Sources, with additional PowerPoints on each of the visual sources and footnotes literary sources
Topic vocabulary sheets
Prep/Homework tasks based on exam-style assessment
Exemplar work for prep/homework tasks
Additional assessment – original Mock papers
Essay help and exemplars
You will also find Quizlets for each topic at https://quizlet.com/lejenkinson/folders
