The first unit of the course is here for you to try, as is a cultural lesson on myth from further on in the course. If you’d like access to the rest of the course (shown in the scheme of work below), get in touch. Access and training are free for UK state schools, with a pay-what-you-can option for materials access for independent and non-UK schools.

n.b. The powerpoint files are password protected so open as ‘read only’.
