Teaching Ancient Greece: Lesson Plans, Vase Animations, and Resources, ed. by Sonya Nevin

Huge congratulations to Dr Sonya Nevin on the publication of her edited volume Teaching Ancient Greece: Lesson Plans, Vase Animations, and Resources, the latest volume from the “Our Mythical Childhood” series! This volume is packed with lesson plans and resources based around pottery as a means of accessing the ancient world. Drawing on the amazing Panoply Vase Animation Project, each lesson uses a particular vase and its animation, and the lessons have in-built flexibility to accommodate learners of different ages and abilities. Bringing together the experiences, perspectives and expertise of a diverse range of educators around the world, this volume is a treasure trove waiting to be explored!
