This CLUES-in-CONTEXT rebus tells the story of the Trojan horse, but students can’t complete reading the rebus until they place eight words found below word pictures into the rebus correctly. This exercise can be done on paper, on an iPad, or in a web-based classroom!

Here is what is included in this download:

• Rebus (fill-in-the blank and the full rebus)
• Discussion questions
• Poetry exercise
• Trojan horse craft
• Crossword puzzle
• Word search
• Four writing exercises (reflection, about Greek idioms, comparison, and report)
• Three differentiated quizzes
• Practice standardized test
• Twelve task cards
• Match Game

In a traditional classroom: Students can complete each activity and turn it in.

On an iPad or in a web-based classroom: Using the Easel platform by Teachers Pay Teachers, which is free to all teachers, this download becomes an online activity for a literature or social studies lesson. Send students the pages that you want them to complete using the Easel platform. Then students can access and submit the rebus, quizzes, writing exercises, and crossword puzzle.

To work on the rebus, they can move the words below each word picture to the appropriate gray rectangle and then send you the assignment. They can complete the crossword puzzle, mark the quiz, and respond to one or all of the writing exercises. Then all they have to do is submit it. It’s that simple.
