J. Stewart). As such, myths and creation accounts and stories help to provide a unifying framework for the people who believe, either literally or figuratively, in this shared account. It is not a falsehood or an unscientific lie; rather, it is a poetic and shared vision. Some of these mythic elements that derive from the Oral Tradition are: 1) The use of repetition for emphasis and ease of recall; 2) The use of poetic devices such as alliteration, personification, metaphor and simile, and symbolism; 3) A concern with numbers, often times repeated; 4) The power of "The Word" (Logos) and the subsequent use of concrete nouns to label important elements (both human and non-human). This week you will be writing your own Creation Myths! This is intended to be a fun and creative assignment, so use your imagination! Think of a natural phenomena that you would like to explain. Pick one natural phenomena 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 myths we have read in class as an example of what a good myth does. Write an original creation myth following the writing process. Be sure to include all the elements of a myth: characters, setting, conflict, plot, resolution, and possibly metamorphosis. Some ideas for you if you are really stuck: how cats got their tails how the sun came into being why the moon disappears once a month why giraffes have long necks why there is dew on the grass in the summer why dogs bark instead of chirp why penguins can't fly why trees grow vertically instead of horizontally why people have language and animals do not Creation Myth Grading RubricWriting ProcessInstructions & Due DatePoints PossibleBrainstorm (at least ten items) Choose something you've wondered about, something that interests you, or something that you think might be enjoyable to write about to use as the basis for your own creation myth.Complete in your comp book.
