Instructional Ideas

• Have listeners follow along with the reading as they listen to the story
•  Instruct students to visualize one of the scenes after they listen by drawing a picture
• Ask leaners what they think the Golden Fleece is during pre-reading/listening 

Classroom Considerations

• Best suited for learners studying Greek mythology, as well as learners that have background information on Greek gods and goddesses
• Audio clip is 12 minutes and 59 seconds and is the first reading of four parts
• Be aware of the comment section at the bottom
• The reading contains some small differences from the written portion; however, it does not affect comprehension 
  

Pros

• Includes the story in written and audio form that can be played from a browser or downloaded as an mp3
• The speaker reads with expression and changes his voice as he takes on the persona of the different characters
• Each verse follows its own rhyming scheme
• Provides a summary at the end of the story
