Day 11 Classics Revision suggestion: Mycenaean Art with particular focus on jewellery, metalwork, ivory and pottery. Examine the objects, techniques, designs and consider what we can learn from them about Mycenaean life as well as how we can admire their skill. #classicsrevision
Day 9 Classics Revision suggestion: Bk 22 Odyssey The final battle in the hall against the suitors: consider the storytelling, revenge+justice, the characters of Telemachus+Odysseus and the portrayal of the suitors.
Pt1 and Pt2 video here. #classicsrevision
(Had a little break + so should you!)
Day 8 Classics revision suggestion: Frescoes-how they are made, what they show, why we can admire them + what they teach us about Mycenaean Life. Which is your fav? Choose 1 from your study + try the practice qu at the end of this vid!
Day 7 Classics revision suggestion: Bk21 Odyssey-consider the behaviour of the suitors, character of Telemachus + revenge. (Note ‘hurrah’ celebration of summarising in 45secs!) @LEJenksBrown our class illustrations were partly inspired by you! #classicsrevision#gcserevision
Day 6 Classics Revision Suggestion: Mycenaean Life 2: Trade + evidence for this (eg Uluburun), Linear B tablets as evidence (strengths + limits) #classicsrevision#gcserevision@QueenMarysSch don’t worry if you’ve missed out some days-it’s everything you do that counts!❤️🏺
Day 5 classics revision suggestion: Bk19 Odyssey: preparation, disguise, true lies, tears, recognition and a dream: consider the character of Penelope and Odysseus as well as excellent storytelling: Homer’s is certainly better than mine!#classicsrevision#gcserevision
And of course I meant megarons! Classic auto-correct assuming I’m taking about mega power- which I suppose, in a way, is correct - the Mycenaeans were pretty impressive!
Day 4 Classics Revision Suggestion: Life in the Mycenaean Age Part 1:megatons and palaces,hunting, weapons and armour, chariots and…that vibrant but unusual Mycenaean fashion! #classicsrevision#gcserevision
Day 3 Classics Revision Suggestion: Re-read Bk10 with Aeolus, Laestrygonians and Circe: themes of civilisation v barbarism, Xenia and Odysseus relationship with his crew. This whistle stop tour clip is not dissimilar to horse-racing commentary…. #classicsrevision#gcserevision
Day 2 Classics Revision suggestion: Mycenaean Key Sites: Mycenae, Tiryns and the debate over the site of Troy. Hopefully your folder isn’t as dusty as mine! #classicsrevsion#gcserevsion
An attempt to make a revision clip for Y11 overrun with a 5year old’s curiosity! Day 1 suggestion: re-read Bk9 of the Odyssey and think about plot details and themes of leadership, Odysseus’ character, Xenia, civilisation v barbarism, revenge and fate. #classicsrevision#revsion
If the prime minister is so classically minded, perhaps he might recall the opening of Cicero’s In Catilinam I?
(Translation by Michael Grant in the Penguin classic)
@LEJenksBrown Yes! So much so that once I forgot about it myself and wondered why we got to line 10 so quickly! However, the one story they ALWAYS do the italics for is ‘ad aulam’ book 2 as it makes for a very interesting illustration exercise of the procession!
During his inaugural address in 2019, Zelensky told lawmakers: “I do not want my picture in your offices: the President is not an icon, an idol or a portrait. Hang your kids' photos instead, and look at them each time you are making a decision.”
Here is a DRAFT lesson on Ukraine. Please feel free to RT/download/adapt. Sharing it now in case others are planning one tomrrow, it might save time if it can be adapted?
Mix of slides and videos. I will stop and ask what Qs they have regularly.
