A Greek Myth
The famous Greek myth of Pandora's Box tells the story of the creation of life on earth and the loss of innocence. Pandora, created by Zeus, is given the gifts of the gods and sent to earth where Epimetheus falls in love with her. Zeus gives them a box which must not be opened. Pandora, having been given the gift of curiosity, opens the box and unleashes suffering into the world.

"Pandora's Box" Inter-Active Literacy CD-ROM is part of a series of e-books that help students to improve their English. Pupils watch a video of the story, complete with vivid illustrations from the original picture book, then take part in fun quizzes on reading and listening comprehension, synonyms, prepositions, capitalisation, word endings, rhyming words, and much more. With the Storytelling function, students can even write their own stories about the buskers, using images from the CD-ROM.


Each Inter-Active Literacy CD-ROM comes with teachers' notes and whiteboard interactivity. Narrated instructions in a choice of eleven languages (Arabic, Chinese, English, Farsi, Polish, Portuguese, Somali, Spanish, Sylheti, Turkish and Urdu) make this the perfect learning tool for the multilingual classroom.
