Me: dislikes Theseus, likes minotaur, likes papercraft

Me: makes entire Labyrinth and Knossos Palace paper Playset so can kill Theseus at hands of minotaur

They also interlock to make one big Playset:

And by the way the Labyrinth walls move 👀 (and you can use it as a game board - game instructions included)

And also it’s also available in colour:

You can get your own here (https://greekmythcomixshop.Wordpress.com) if you fancy it. (These things are how I keep the rest of my main educational site free and free from ads)

What is Asexuality?

An intro to asexuality! A quick intro to what the term means and some pop culture sources for if you want to explore more! Plus a short interview with my friend Heather, (she/her) on her experience and advice as an asexual person. Thank you Heather! 💖

It's important to remember that like any other sexual orientation, it's a spectrum and each person's experience is unique and one account doe not represent all accounts. As mentioned, asexuality is an umbrella term and some people may use it as just one of many descriptors for their sexuality! If you're unsure you can politely ask someone, but they do not owe you an explanation or a deep-dive into their sexuality. Why not check out one of the recommended books above or Yasmin Benoit's movement #thisiswhatsexuallookslike

If you have any more pop culture mentions or resources on asexuality, why not drop them in the comments! 👀

resources for teaching english?

this is a long shot but anyone knows of any resources to help someone teach English? I was approached by a friend’s sister who wants to learn and I do desperately need the money ($10 in my bank account with bills to pay and no food kind of desperate lol), but I learned English playing Kingdom Hearts lmao I have no idea how to pass the knowledge to someone else and I’m really thinking about just refusing her offer

outdoor bingo cards!

Image description. Four images with a leaf green background, coloured line art pink California rose with red hips and hazel leaf sticker in bottom right with where to get a copy, a red chop in bottom right, and poster's handle in bottom left in black serif font. Each image has a screenshot of a different black on white lineart bingo card. of 24 lineart tiles.

I will admit right now that I think going someplace and playing bingo is pretty boring. But hand me a bingo sheet, a pencil, and tell me to go for a walk and I will speedwalk my way to blackout bingo. I think it's pretty important and pretty fun to be able to identify the plants and animals around you, with an emphasis on what's edible and what's poisonous - I have my priorities. So I made my kids these bingo sheets, and want to share with you!

Then I thought, why waste a perfectly good piece of line art? So I made 8 pages of four tile colouring pages, with the 32 most interesting to colour tiles from the bingo cards.

Image description. Two images with a leaf green background, coloured line art pink California rose with red hips and hazel leaf sticker in bottom right with where to get a copy, a chop in bottom right, and poster's handle in bottom left in black serif font. Each slide has a screenshot of a different black on white lineart four-tile colouring page. The first page shows a sword fern, Fragaria, hawk, and California hazel on the first page. The second colouring page has a California poppy, a California rose, California white sage, and a seed eating bird, which is a sparrow.

We've been having a lot of fun with these - well, the preschooler is, the toddler is more interested in finding a good stick and mishroom hunting still (good sticks are important!). Grab yourself a copy too - it's a 10-page pdf with 4 different bingo cards and 32 colouring tiles, print yourself on 8.5x11 paper. While this was designed for the California woods, it can be enjoyed in much of the wooded United States West Coast areas.

How I teach the Iliad in highschool:

I’ve taught the Iliad for over a decade, I’m literally a teacher, and I can even spell ‘Iliad’, and yet my first instinct when reading someone’s opinions about it is not to drop a comment explaining what it is, who ‘wrote’ it, and what that person’s intention truly was.

Agh. <the state of Twitter>

The first thing I do when I am teaching the Iliad is talk about what we know, what we think we know, and what we don’t know about Homer:

We know -

- 0

We think we know -

- the name Homer is a person, possibly male, possibly blind, possibly from Ionia, c.8th/9th C BCE.

- composed the Iliad and Odyssey and Hymns

We don’t know -

- if ‘Homer’ was a real person or a word meaning singer/teller of these stories

- which poem came first

- whether the more historical-sounding events of these stories actually happened, though there is evidence for a similar, much shorter, siege at Troy.

And then I get out a timeline, with suggested dates for the ‘Trojan war’ and Iliad and Odyssey’s estimated composition date and point out the 500ish years between those dates. And then I ask my class to name an event that happened 500 years ago.

They normally can’t or they say ‘Camelot’, because my students are 13-15yo and I’ve sprung this on them. Then I point out the Spanish Armada and Qu. Elizabeth I and Shakespeare were around then. And then I ask how they know about these things, and we talk about historical record.

And how if you don’t have historical record to know the past, you’re relying on shared memory, and how that’s communicated through oral tradition, and how oral tradition can serve a second purpose of entertainment, and how entertainment needs exciting characteristics.

And we list the features of the epic poems of the Iliad and Odyssey: gods, monsters, heroes, massive wars, duels to the death, detailed descriptions of what armour everyone is wearing as they put it on. (Kind of like a Marvel movie in fact.)

And then we look at how long the poems are and think about how they might have been communicated: over several days, when people would have had time to listen, so at a long festival perhaps, when they’re not working. As a diversion.

And then I tell them my old and possibly a bit tortured simile of ‘The Pearl of Myth’:

(Here’s a video of The Pearl of Myth with me talking it through in a calming voice: https://youtu.be/YEqFIibMEyo?sub_confirmation=1

And after all that, I hand a student at the front a secret sentence written on a piece of paper, and ask them to whisper it to the person next to them, and for that person to whisper it to the next, and so on. You’ve all played that game.

And of course the sentence is always rather different at the end than it was at the start, especially if it had Proper nouns in it (which tend to come out mangled). And someone’s often purposely changed it, ‘to be funny’.

And we talk about how this is a very loose metaphor for how stories and memory can change over time, and even historical record if it’s not copied correctly (I used to sidebar them about how and why Boudicca used to be known as ‘Boadicea’ but they just know the former now, because Horrible Histories exists and is awesome)

And after all that, I remind them that what we’re about to read has been translated from Ancient Greek, which was not exactly the language it was first written down in, and now we’re reading it in English.

And that’s how my teenaged students know NOT TO TAKE THE ILIAD AS FACT.

(And then we read the Iliad)

So, how can you tell if your work is systems change focused? Ask yourself the following questions: Is your initiative focused primarily on working directly with beneficiaries to alleviate an immediate need (e.g., providing food/shelter/1:1 counseling to vulnerable communities)? If so, this is likely direct service work rather than systems change. Are you seeking to solve the problem permanently? If so, you might be doing systems change work. Does your work build power among people directly impacted by injustices? If so, you might be doing systems change work. Are you working to shift systemic policies, resource flows, seats of power, or mental models? If so, you are probably doing systems change work.

This method of teaching linear equations was first shown to me in one of my university classes (Teaching for Inclusion) as a culturally appropriate way to teach linear equations to Indigenous students in 2022.

I'm personally weak when it comes to math in general and I found this method was great at helping me understand the underlying concept which is a great reminder that "culturally appropriate / diverse education" can benefit all students, not just those who happen to share the particular cultural heritage.

(On the chance that the Victorian Government takes the activity down for whatever reason, I have saved the page as a pdf which you can find here -
