Key Points:

1. Choose a myth that has not been used as a "core myth" or as one of your comparison and contrast myths.

2. Paraphrase the myth so that the story remains the same but the words are yours.

• Choose appropriate music to accompany your oral myth.
• Create some type of visual representation of the myth/ or a prop used while telling the myth.
• Use some type of costume prop: hat, cape, toga, etc...[see the teacher if there are any questions]
• Practice reciting your myth in the mirror or in front of an audience. [The minimum length should be no shorter than 1 1/2 minute and no longer than 4 minutes]
• Students will receive appropriate credit for creativity and preparation.
• Students should be able to hand in a paraphrased version of the myth they choose to present to the class.
