Starting this week you will work in a small group several times throughout this unit. Check this link to see which group you are in and where you will sit:
In your group, the first person listed will be today's note-taker (this job will rotate each day). That person will make a copy of this document:
Share it with the other people in the group. Be sure everyone has editing rights.
We'll review Armstrong's overall definition of myth together: "Myths are universal and timeless stories that reflect and shape our lives – they explore our desires, our fears, our longings, and provide narratives that remind us what it means to be human."
In your group, work together to list the five qualities of myths she names. Take the time to be sure you understand each point - explain it in your own words - add it to the chart.
I'll give you examples of two myths. With your group, use your own understanding of them as well as internet searches to see if that myth fits her definition. In the "conclusion" section, make it clear how your myths do / don't fit in with her definition, and why.
Hopefully we will have time to share these examples with the rest of the class!
