Gilgamesh the King by Ludmila Zeman is a beautifully written and illustrated book that I want the whole class to enjoy, so I chose to read it aloud to the students while projecting the pages onto the white board. It tells the story of a half-god/half-human Mesopotamian ruler who undergoes an amazing transformation. The story fits in well with our ELA focus on character change and also aligns.

Lesson Plan Calendars
The Lesson Plan Calendars provide daily suggestions about what to teach. They include detailed descriptions of when to assign reading, homework, in-class work, fun activities, quizzes, tests and more. Use the entire The Epic of Gilgamesh calendar, or supplement it with your own curriculum ideas. Calendars cover one, two, four, and eight week units. Determine how long your The Epic of Gilgamesh unit will be, then use one of the calendars provided to plan out your entire lesson.
Chapter Abstracts
Chapter abstracts are short descriptions of events that occur in each chapter of The Epic of Gilgamesh. They highlight major plot events and detail the important relationships and characteristics of important characters. The Chapter Abstracts can be used to review what the students have read, or to prepare the students for what they will read. Hand the abstracts out in class as a study guide, or use them as a 'key' for a class discussion. They are relatively brief, but can serve to be an excellent refresher of The Epic of Gilgamesh for either a student or teacher.
Character and Object Descriptions
Character and Object Descriptions provide descriptions of the significant characters as well as objects and places in The Epic of Gilgamesh. These can be printed out and used as an individual study guide for students, a 'key' for leading a class discussion, a summary review prior to exams, or a refresher for an educator. The character and object descriptions are also used in some of the quizzes and tests in this lesson plan. The longest descriptions run about 200 words. They become shorter as the importance of the character or object declines.
Daily Lessons
This section of the lesson plan contains 30 Daily Lessons. Daily Lessons each have a specific objective and offer at least three (often more) ways to teach that objective. Lessons include classroom discussions, group and partner activities, in-class handouts, individual writing assignments, at least one homework assignment, class participation exercises and other ways to teach students about The Epic of Gilgamesh in a classroom setting. You can combine daily lessons or use the ideas within them to create your own unique curriculum. They vary greatly from day to day and offer an array of creative ideas that provide many options for an educator.
Fun Classroom Activities
Fun Classroom Activities differ from Daily Lessons because they make 'fun' a priority. The 20 enjoyable, interactive classroom activities that are included will help students understand The Epic of Gilgamesh in fun and entertaining ways. Fun Classroom Activities include group projects, games, critical thinking activities, brainstorming sessions, writing poems, drawing or sketching, and countless other creative exercises. Many of the activities encourage students to interact with each other, be creative and think 'outside of the box,' and ultimately grasp key concepts from the text by 'doing' rather than simply studying. Fun activities are a great way to keep students interested and engaged while still providing a deeper understanding of The Epic of Gilgamesh and its themes.
Essay Questions/Writing Assignments
These 20 Essay Questions/Writing Assignments can be used as essay questions on a test, or as stand-alone essay topics for a take-home or in-class writing assignment on The Epic of Gilgamesh. Students should have a full understanding of the unit material in order to answer these questions. They often include multiple parts of the work and ask for a thorough analysis of the overall text. They nearly always require a substantial response. Essay responses are typically expected to be one (or more) page(s) and consist of multiple paragraphs, although it is possible to write answers more briefly. These essays are designed to challenge a student's understanding of the broad points in a work, interactions among the characters, and main points and themes of the text. But, they also cover many of the other issues specific to the work and to the world today.
Short Essay Questions
The 60 Short Essay Questions listed in this section require a one to two sentence answer. They ask students to demonstrate a deeper understanding of The Epic of Gilgamesh by describing what they've read, rather than just recalling it. The short essay questions evaluate not only whether students have read the material, but also how well they understand and can apply it. They require more thought than multiple choice questions, but are shorter than the essay questions.
Multiple Choice Questions
The 180 Multiple Choice Questions in this lesson plan will test a student's recall and understanding of The Epic of Gilgamesh. Use these questions for quizzes, homework assignments or tests. The questions are broken out into sections, so they focus on specific chapters within The Epic of Gilgamesh. This allows you to test and review the book as you proceed through the unit. Typically, there are 5-15 questions per chapter, act or section.
Evaluation Forms
Use the Oral Reading Evaluation Form when students are reading aloud in class. Pass the forms out before you assign reading, so students will know what to expect. You can use the forms to provide general feedback on audibility, pronunciation, articulation, expression and rate of speech. You can use this form to grade students, or simply comment on their progress.
Use the Writing Evaluation Form when you're grading student essays. This will help you establish uniform criteria for grading essays even though students may be writing about different aspects of the material. By following this form you will be able to evaluate the thesis, organization, supporting arguments, paragraph transitions, grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc. of each student's essay.
Quizzes/Homework Assignments
The Quizzes/Homework Assignments are worksheets that can be used in a variety of ways. They pull questions from the multiple choice and short essay sections, the character and object descriptions, and the chapter abstracts to create worksheets that can be used for pop quizzes, in-class assignments and homework. Periodic homework assignments and quizzes are a great way to encourage students to stay on top of their assigned reading. They can also help you determine which concepts and ideas your class grasps and which they need more guidance on. By pulling from the different sections of the lesson plan, quizzes and homework assignments offer a comprehensive review of The Epic of Gilgamesh in manageable increments that are less substantial than a full blown test.
Tests
Use the Test Summary page to determine which pre-made test is most relevant to your students' learning styles. This lesson plan provides both full unit tests and mid-unit tests. You can choose from several tests that include differing combinations of multiple choice questions, short answer questions, short essay questions, full essay questions, character and object matching, etc. Some of the tests are designed to be more difficult than others. Some have essay questions, while others are limited to short-response questions, like multiple choice, matching and short answer questions. If you don't find the combination of questions that best suits your class, you can also create your own test on The Epic of Gilgamesh.
Create Your Own Quiz or Test
You have the option to Create Your Own Quiz or Test. If you want to integrate questions you've developed for your curriculum with the questions in this lesson plan, or you simply want to create a unique test or quiz from the questions this lesson plan offers, it's easy to do. Cut and paste the information from the Create Your Own Quiz or Test page into a Word document to get started.

A man tragically loses his best friend and goes on a journey to find the secret of immortality. You can't get a more classic story than that. No, literally. You can't. Because The Epic of Gilgamesh is the oldest surviving work of literature in the Western world.
Not to ruin every other work of literature and film for you, but The Epic of Gilgamesh is pretty much the foundation of all those other stories. Sure, it has sex, monsters, gods, death, and adventures to the end of the world. But the big things that Gilgamesh cares about are the same things you and your high school students experience in your daily lives: having somebody—anybody—in this world who really 'gets' you; and trying to make your time on this earth meaningful and as long as possible.
Awww, Gilgamesh. No one 'gets' us like you do.
In this guide, you'll find
- an exercise in PR, with the students acting as team of advisers and speechwriters to an unpopular King Gilgamesh.
- a chance to imagine being one of the story's gods, to decide whether and how punishment should be meted out to Gilgamesh after an unfortunate tree-felling incident.
- an exploration of death in the story and a chance to think more deeply about the lessons Gilgamesh can impart about mortality.
King Gilgamesh arrives at the semi-bummer conclusion that humans just can't live forever—but we can find peace in the legacy we leave behind after death. Our Shmoop guide unpacks all that and much more.

Instructions for You
Objective: Gilgamesh may be the king of Uruk, but he's not exactly universally loved at the beginning of the first chapter. Unsurprisingly, some of his subjects are pretty peeved when he challenges men to athletic contests and sexually exploits young women.
Gilgamesh Worksheets For Kids To Play
Not cool, Gilgamesh.
In this activity, your students will touch down in Uruk near the beginning of the first chapter, when Gilgamesh is getting blowback for how he's ruling the kingdom. They'll have to imagine they're his team of advisers doing some damage control, figuring out how to bridge the gap with his subjects. This'll take the form of a public speech, which they'll have to prepare and present to the populace.
This can happen once they've read halfway through the first chapter. That way your students will have enough background information to know how to big up the main man, and also anticipate any (inevitable) criticism that might come his way.
Onward.
Materials Needed: A copy of the text and/or our Shmoop summary page
Step 1: Get the class to split into groups of three or four, where they'll imagine that they're Gilgamesh's advisors. They'll kick things off by getting to the root of the problem, figuring out exactly what Gilgamesh has done to cause this PR nightmare. They have to write down at least five things about Gilgamesh that the people of Uruk aren't happy about. Each of the five should include:
- What Gilgamesh has done wrong
- Where in the text this occurs
- Why this is such a heinous act
Each section should be around three sentences long, with the groups having ten minutes to put this together. When finished, you can have a brief class discussion where the groups call out the various (and no doubt brilliant) ideas they came up with.
Step 2: It's damage control time. King G is going to give a speech telling the people how sorry he is for his misdeeds, that he won't do it again, and how he's planning to be a better ruler and person in the future. The speech should include the following:
- Acknowledgment of his wrongdoing
- G's plans to improve his bad behavior
- How Gilgamesh thinks he's also been a good ruler
- How he plans to rule Uruk more successfully in the future
The speech should be around four minutes in length when read out loud. It should make specific reference to the text, and each student should perform one part (so preferably a minute or so each). It should be written in the first person as Gilgamesh, and they have 20 minutes to get it together.
Step 3: Once the speeches are complete, each group gets four minutes to stand up and address the populace.
When the groups are finished, a member of the class (or yourself) can ask them a question about their speech or the way they're going to rule in the future. At least one member of the group must answer the question as Gilgamesh. Get ready for some rock-solid Gilgamesh impressions.
Step 4: To round things out, the students should read to the end of the first chapter at home. They'll then write a 250-word essay predicting how Gilgamesh will react to Enkidu's arrival and how it might shake things up for the leader.
They should refer to several of the king's character traits that were discussed in class, showing where they appear in the opening chapter. They'll also want to discuss how these will affect G's behavior when E turns up in town. Something tells us things might get…
Epic.
