Our newest project!

Writing a Greek Myth

Now that you’ve learned about different Greek myths and the elements of a story, your goal now is to create your own illustrated Greek Myth to depict each of the story elements we’ve talked about in class.  Your stories will be typed and bound in a book format, and you will be able to share them with the class.

·         You will be creating your own Greek myth to share with the class

·         Your myth must explain an event or thing in our world today that can be explained through your gods/goddesses
·         You will create your own Greek god or goddess to be the main character in the story.  This character must display characteristics that help explain the natural occurrence.

·         Your final written paper must have a cast of ancient Greek characters, a Greek setting, a problem or situation, rising action, a climax, falling action, and a final resolution.

·         Each of your pages should include a minimum of four sentences. There is a minimum of three pages for your story and a maximum of ten pages for your story.

·         What you will turn into me:

-          Brainstorming

-          Purpose description

-          Main character sketch

-          Setting description

-          Plot outline

-          Rough draft with peer edit

-          Final copy
