    How to use the lesson:

    1. Choose a simple word game to introduce the topic. Tell your students that the words labyrinth
    and maze can be used interchangeably in everyday usage, though the latter is often preferred.
    (The ancient type is called a labyrinth.)
    2. Divide the class into pairs. Give one copy of the Worksheet to each pair of students.
    Make sure they understand the quiz. Do not spend much time with the pronunciation of
    classical names at this stage. Here is a pronunciation guide for your reference.
    3. Ask the students to complete the sentences as if they were in a quiz show. Encourage them to
    guess as it is just a game.
    4. Check the answers collectively.
    5. Write the phonetic transcription of classical names on the board/OHP and ask your students
    to repeat them in a chorus before telling them to read out the sentences in pairs.
    6. Ask your students to turn their quiz pages over. See how much they remember by asking
    them to repeat as much as they can from the information.
