Creative Writing Assignment
Think of a natural phenomenon that you would like to explain. Pick one natural phenomenon and create a myth that explains how this phenomena was created or why it acts the way it does. Remember, most myths have two functions:
Explain how something was created or why it is the way it is.
Teach us a life lesson (Have a theme).
Think back to the myth we read in class as an example of what a good myth does.
