Next @ClassicsBook read has a Classics pedagogy focus. Whether it be using MFL pedagogy to aid our teaching of Latin, History pedagogy to aid Ancient History or Classical Civilisation, or English to help with Classical Civ elements. Get your thinking cap on!

@ClassicsBook I really liked Haynes’ use of modern retellings...that would be a good way in for a lot of students.

@ClassicsBook Going back to the provenance of myths is something I’ll try to do more of e.g. I didn’t realise that the Gorgons started off as just heads! I’d just assumed that depictions of the disembodied Medusa was a result of events in the story.

@ClassicsBook Your classics action-hero fascination I think. We still do it now, just look at movies like Die Hard (not jibing, it's an excellent set of films!).

@LisaFarrell3 @ClassicsBook Also I know it was just focussed on Greek myth, but Camilla is a absolute legend and has to sneak in under the radar!

@ClassicsBook Definitely. Planning an enrichment unit focusing on women of mythology. Pandora is a brilliant example. I ‘knew’ the traditional story but I loved discovering the complexity of that myth. That’s the journey I want to take my students on.

@ClassicsBook I really want to do a unit on the Amazons, maybe mixed with some stuff on the archaeological evidence from Scythia.
