The Phoenix of Persia Educational Resources

 

The Phoenix of Persia is a children’s book with specially composed music that introduces pupils to the music, culture, storytelling and history of Iran.  Alongside the book, we have developed a cross-curricular resource pack for key stage 2, as well as a resource box (The Shahnameh Box) that is available for loan via local schools library services.

They have developed an educational website that includes ideas for classroom activities, a powerpoint with embedded videos that cover activities that were taking place in the workshops and which teachers can try out for themselves, as well as (the very positive) feedback from teachers who have already used the resource, such as this example.

Here is a short film about the project
