Bellerophon Reading & Writing Activity Evidence-based Approach Grades 7-12 ELA

Read the proto-hero myth of Bellerophon with middle and high school students. Assess students’ reading comprehension and vocabulary-in-context skills. Cap the activity with an engaging literary analysis and evidence-based writing activity. 

Pro-tip — Give your ELLs and struggling readers reading comprehension practice. It’ll boost their confidence. I created this worksheet for students who need extra help to improve their reading and writing skills, including finding the meaning of words in context and gaining confidence in reading literary texts.
