Additional Info
Dear All,

Apologies for my absence today. You have two tasks to complete in my absence.

TASK 1
Finish the questions on 'The Iliad' from the last lesson. These should be completed neatly and comprehensively in your exercise book.

TASK 2
Design a poster on your Ipad about any myth relating to Ancient Crete or the Minoans. There are a few to choose from:
  • King Minos
  • The Minotaur
  • Daedalus & Icarus
  • Talos of Crete
  • The Lost City of Atlantis and its connections to Crete
There is plenty of information on the internet about these myths or any others connected to Crete that you may want to research instead.

The poster should be designed on your Ipad. It should contain the following:
  • Illustrations & maps
  • A summary of the myth
  • Some historical content that connects the myth to Crete (for example, why Knossos and the labyrinth are linked etc)
But remember - posters are supposed to combine textual and visual parts. It should be informative yet easy to read and interesting to look at. The most impressive will get a prize and three positive points!
