Item description

Don’t fly too close to the sun. Don’t overstep your boundaries. Don’t feed your own kid as dinner at a dinner party! Don’t throw caution to the wind. Teach a myth-infused cautionary tale unit designed for the middle and high school classroom. Start with Tantalus, the king who fed his son to the gods, and end the unit with Icarus, who flew too close to the sun.

Note — each lesson pack comes equipped as both a print and digital resource (with Google Workspace). The full-text of the myths are not included.

What’s Included in this Cautionary Tale Bundle:

  • The Ancient Greek Myth of Tantalus — The King Who Fed His Own Son to the Gods!

  • The King Midas Tale — Based on the Original Sources

  • Phaëthon — The Boy who Dared to Ride the Chariot of the Sun

  • Ixion — The King who Betrayed Zeus (and murdered a man)

  • The Cautionary Tale of Icarus — The Boy Who Flew Too Close to the Sun

  • FREE Bonus: Think About Any Quote! Graphic Organizer

I recommend using this unit for a middle and high school myth unit! Use it for:

  • Use it as a genre unit on cautionary tales or tales of unusual punishments in history!

  • Use these resources as stand-alone lessons or, pair it with a larger unit on Myth, Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, Robert Graves’s Greek Myths, or Edith Hamilton’s Mythology, Parallel Myths.

For resources similar to this one see my:

  • Teaching the Industrial Revolution with William Blake’s “London”

  • and my popular Plato’s Cave lesson!
