We will finish our last myth presentation on Monday, Oct. 11. You should be working on your own origin myth at home. Please read the directions listed below very carefully. This will be due on Wednesday, Oct. 13.
Directions: For this assignment, I would like you to create your own origin myth that explains the beginning of a specific animal characteristic. For example, you may choose to explain why giraffes have long necks, why flamingos stand on one leg, or why turtles have shells. Please name your animal characters and give them lines of dialogue, but do not include gods or goddesses in your story. Please follow all directions and be sure to use the class time appropriately. It is possible to lose accountability points if you are not using the class time wisely. Origin myths will be presented to the class. The entire writing project is worth 20 points.
Rubric:
~Myth is a creative, logical and well-developed explanation of a natural event in today’s world. (10 points)
~Myth includes at least two examples of imagery and three lines of dialogue. (5 Points)
~Myth is at least one entire page long, typed in a Times New Roman size 12 font and double-spaced, and has proper MLA heading. (5 points)
