Oral dialogue rubric

The purpose of this assignment is to use your knowledge of Greek Mythology to write your own myth.

After a Read Aloud of different Myths and a class discussion you, the students will be writing your own myths. You will create a myth that explains a natural phenomenon such as the reason behind a volcano's eruption, earthquake, echoes, rainbows, droughts etc. This corresponds with the second half of the Greek Gods novel, "Nature Myths." As you brainstorm what to write, it is important to remember that Greeks created their stories with a purpose. Everything they created, wrote, thought of, danced, sang, or explained had a reason. The main purpose of mythology was to explain the way their world worked or to help them understand mysteries of nature or human life. Your story should not only have beautiful language, but should also serve a function (explain something in nature - either human nature or the earth).
