Choice Two:
Directions: Myths are pieces of literature that embody a people's cultural ideals or deep, commonly felt emotions to explain a natural occurrence, incomprehensible event, or larger-than-life story (think about Greek mythology). Often, they include supernatural beings, ancestors, or heroes.
Using the information above along with the sample readings (located in the assignment folder), consider then select one natural phenomena and create a myth that explains how this phenomena was created. Set your myth in a place that resembles the natural world or human society, but where magic runs strong and consequences are vast for example.
You my choose to write your story or illustrate it using powerpoint, create a web page, etc.
