Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Identify all twelve labours assigned to Hercules in Greek mythology
Research and visually represent a specific mythological task through illustration
Teaching tips
Pair with a brief retelling or reading about Hercules' myth, since the worksheet names each labour but does not describe it
Divide the twelve boxes among small groups or table teams so each group researches and illustrates a subset of labours
Have students look up what each labour involved before illustrating it, since only the name of each task is given
Skills covered
Mythology recall — students identify and label all twelve labours assigned to Hercules.
Independent research — the worksheet names each labour without describing it, so students look up what each task involved before illustrating it.
