This download for Episode 3 contains a PPTX file and a link to Google Slides. This is a HUGE bank of resources integrated into a well-paced, multi-lesson plan. Pick and choose what you want to focus on in or out of class time. You could spend anywhere from 20 minutes to several days on this episode using these materials.

 

My own kids (6-15), and my students (13-16) love this quirky LGBTQ+ story with a brilliant cast of characters and an entertaining plot. I know your students will too. Read the review from Common Sense Media HERE. From the podcast website:

 

When Prince Rupert sets out to break the mysterious curse that’s destroying his kingdom, he’s ready to face whatever dastardly villain or vile monster stands in his way. What he isn’t prepared for are the bewildering new emotions he feels when he meets the handsome Amir, a rival prince on a quest to save his own realm. Forced to team up, the two princes soon discover that the only thing more difficult than saving their kingdoms is following their hearts.
