Lanternfish
LANTERNFISH contains printable teaching resources for language arts, TESOL, TEFL and ESL.
Lanternfish ESL is maintained by a group of ESL (English as Second Language) teachers in Asia and North America. Our aim is to bring printable quality resources to teachers and parents.
Contents & Purpose
There are three worksheets in this group, which contain entertaining activities to accompany the teaching of Theseus and the Minotaur myth:
Theseus and the Minotaur Crossword
Theseus and the Minotaur Word Search
Minotaur Word Scramble, in which the students need to break down the word “Minotaur” and see if there are other words they can find while using its letters. For example “the opposite of off”, “Something you breathe” etc.
Further comments
Since these worksheets are aimed at ESL teachers (English as Second Language), the activities are meant to complement the teaching of the myth but also enhance English reading and comprehension skill (the Word Scramble activity is specifically aimed to enhance vocabulary).
