Description
This story of Pygmalion falling in love with his own statue, written for beginner Latin readers. Note: In my version, Pygmalion is crushed beneath his statue, which falls on him, rather than be granted a happy ending by Venus's intervention.
Each page has a simple Latin sentence with an illustration on the front, repeated on the back of with an English translation added underneath the sentence. This format empowers students to read the Latin independently and then confirm or refine their understanding when they turn the page and see the English. This story can be used for student-directed reading (free voluntary reading), to introduce the story of Pygmalion and the statue before reading a harder version of the myth, when there is a substitute teacher or a teacher who won't be able to answer the students' translation questions, or for independent study.
To make the booklet: When printing, make sure you select double sided and flip on short edge. Fold the packet on the center line and staple.
