MYTHOLOGY: APOLLO LESSON PLAN CONTENT PAGES

The Mythology: Apollo lesson plan contains one content page. It tells the story of Apollo and his eager son Phaethon. Phaethon believes he is ready to drive the golden chariot across the sky and lead the sun through its day’s journey. Apollo allows him to try, but things go amiss. He must intervene before more damage is done. In the end, Phaethon learns to respect the sun’s power and never take on more than he can handle before he is absolutely ready.

MYTHOLOGY: APOLLO LESSON PLAN WORKSHEETS

The Mythology: Apollo lesson plan includes two worksheets: an activity worksheet and a practice worksheet. Each one will help students solidify their grasp of the material they learned throughout the lesson. You can refer to the classroom procedure guidelines to know when to hand out each worksheet.

LETTER OF PERSUASION ACTIVITY WORKSHEET

Students will pretend they are Apollo’s son Phaethon. They will write a letter to Apollo to explain why they want to drive the golden chariot and convince him why he should let them try.

MYTHOLOGY: APOLLO PRACTICE WORKSHEET

The practice worksheet requires students to answer a series of 10 questions. These questions all relate to the content pages, so students will need to refer to them often for the answers. In addition, each question provides which reading tool the question corresponds to, such as text feature, vocabulary, or comprehension.

Worksheet Answer Keys

At the end of the lesson plan document is an answer key for the practice worksheet. The correct answers are all in red to make it easier for you to compare them with students’ responses. If you choose to administer the lesson pages to your students via PDF, you will need to save a new file that omits these pages. Otherwise, you can simply print out the applicable pages and keep these as reference for yourself when grading assignments.
