you ready to write your myth? Then let's begin!
Pretend you have an audience of the
king's court before you. Or that you are in a cave with other cave
painters trying to summon the sun or the rain. Or think of yourself
as a griot in an African village who is about to explain to your
people how the world began. Using your brainstorming observations
and ideas, write a story that explains a phenomenon in the natural
world that you've experienced or witnessed on TV. You can pick almost
anything a snowstorm, an earthquake, or even a rainy day.
Be as creative as you can let your imagination run wild!
If you need more help, try using the Myth Brainstorming Machine to get your ideas flowing.
When your myth is complete, publish
it online to share with other kids..
