Please also have a look through this page for videos, suggested topics and readings, and links to resources.
Page 1 of this document shows you the myths on the Tales of Change website organised into (roughly thematic groups).
Page 2 provides a list of recommended YouTube videos which could support your teaching.
Bob Lister, of the Cambridge Schools Classics Project explains how the benefits of using the Classic Tales audio retellings by Hugh Lupton and Daniel Morden, and provides a guide to the available resources.
We hope that the resources and training videos below will help you to plan or select your myths. Not all of the myths from the Tales of Change website are covered here, but we hope to add more soon. If you would like to cover another myth, and are not sure where to start, please don't hesitate to get in touch with your local co-ordinator..
