Work with a group to make predictions for definitions of each
of the following words. The words included here are found in
the myth of Daedalus and Icarus. Remember that some words
which look familiar will probably have new meanings in this
context. Anyone have questions as to what Im asking you to
do here? Please pair up with the person next to you and take
a few minutes to fill out this sheet.
Students work together to complete graphic organizer.
Afterwards, teacher breaks up groups and quickly goes over
the organizer as a class.
Ok, time to find out what happens to the minotaur.

aloud, reading the first paragraph then asking for volunteers to
read the following paragraphs.
Now, lets take a look at a cartoon version of the story. While
you are watching, jot down similarities and differences
between the text version and the cartoon version on a scrap
piece of paper.
