Odysseus our beloved mythical hero
Following the plan of Comenius programme, we urged our pupils to collect and read myths and legends of our country. They had to pick up their beloved hero through them.
After having collected all our material, we worked on it, in groups in different ways (reading, painting, drama) according to the age of our pupils.
