HW #5

Work on Creation Myth Comic Assignment. It's due Friday. Bring in a comic book (optional) for inspiration.

HW #4

Please complete the assignment from class for HW:
  • Ancestral Creation Myth Assignment I'd like you think about what your character/s might look like, and which character would be an interesting first person to retell the tale... yup, that's we're doing in class!

    HW #3

    Choose two of the three myths we've discussed thus far (Genesis, Egyptian, and Chinese) and write with detail to support Mircea Eliade's belief that "myths are the symbolic descriptions of a reality."

    I forgot to collect the Egyptian HW so please don't forget to turn it to me next class!


    HW #2

    Read the Egyptian myth packet (Isis, Horus, Osiris) and create a study guide to identify: Nut, Geb, Thoth, Isis, Re, Osiris, Horus. On a separate sheet (or on the back) draw a picture of a memorable scene and label it with a quote from the text as a caption to describe the moment.
