Perseus and Medusa

gorgonsThis morning we are going to listen to another Greek myth, Persus and Medusa. Using the Characteristics of myths, we can see that this myth has:

  • heroes
  • evil and good characters
  • gods
  • mythical creatures
  • magic and special powers

Your task today is to listen well to identify which parts of the story and which characters are the heroes, gods etc.; and

you will be writing a description of Medusa the Gorgon.  You will need to use similes, adjectives and good sentences to write a description which lets us feel just how awful and terrifying she really was.

I look forward to seeing what you come up with, as you are really starting to write well!  🙂  Mrs Veary
