Post # 10 - What Have You Learned From Your Peers?

For your final post, I would like you to list each of your classmates and their deity, and list one thing you learned from their presentation. Obviously, you will have to edit this post regularly as more follow students present their myths through out the week. So just to recap....Post #10 should be a list of students with the corresponding deity and something that you learned from their presentation. Thank you for all of your hard work and effort, and I hope you have enjoyed this project.

Post # 9 - Your Myth Retold

So far this entire blog has been an exploration concerning a single mythological deity, and a single myth concerning this deity. We have examined this myth in great detail. We have considered the setting of the myth, where the myth takes place. We have expounded upon the various characters which accompany your deity within your myth. We have looked at the over arching plot line of your myth by describing in detail the conflict, climax, and resolution regarding your myth. Now, is where we take all these pieces and fuse them together into a spectacular piece of narrative writing. I would like you to rewrite your myth from a first person perspective. I would like you to make use of your previous blogs and piece them together into a fabulous piece of writing. This 9th post will be worth more points then your previous posts, so please spend time elaborating on the finer details of your myth. This post will be submitted in hard copy at the time of your presentation. It will also aid you in your class presentation. When you have finished. This post, please take the time to read your classmates posts.

Post # 8 - Resolution

Hello again!

For this post I would like you to focus on the resolution of your myth. By resolution, I mean how is the conflict in your myth finally resolved. In other words, how does the story end? The resolution is where loose ends are finally brought together. Consider this to be the conclusion of your myth.

Post # 7- Climax

Hopefully after constructing your last blog post, you have begun to realize that by focusing on conflict, we have opened the door to the wider conversation of plot. Plot is the story line behind the myth. The next aspect of plot I would like us to reflect on the climax of the myth. Use this post to describe in detail what is the climax of your myth. By climax, I am referring to the point where conflict of the story meet its head.

Post # 6 - Conflict

Within every story is a conflict. After all, it is conflict which is the driving force behind the plot. It is this conflict which propels a story and makes it interesting! Your job for the sixth post is to determine what is the conflict which is present within your myth. Discover and define what this conflict is. Write a post detailing the this conflict.

Why are we doing this?

By understanding and defining the conflict, you will have a deeper understanding your myth. This will make your retelling of the myth in blog post #9 much easier!

Assignment # 5 - Character Development

For our next assignment we will be working on character development. I would like you to describe any characters who are in your myth. Describe what they look like, their attitude, who they are. This may include other deities, animals, people, titans, etc. If you can find pictures of these characters include them in your post. Also remember to continue to leave comments on each others blogs.

Assignment #4 - Setting

This assignment will be an exploration concerning the home of the deity or the place where the myth takes place. This post should only contain a vivid description containing the setting of the narrative you will be creating. Use imagery concerning the five senses.

- What does the setting look like?

- What does the setting sound like?

- What does the setting smell like?

- What does the setting feel like?

- What does the setting taste like?

Remember to use this post, as an exploration of using adjectives to help construct a sense of place.

Why are we doing this?

Not only will this allow the writer/ reader to have a deeper sense of where the deity comes from, but it will also help you later when you begin to construct your personal narrative in post #9.
