Writing Day; Deadline looming for Myth Documentary
Please use the time today to complete your myth documentary and work on the several portfolio pieces/drafts from this unit:
At this time, the district is recommending the use of the Screencastify Chrome app for video and microphone recording. You will need to go to the RCSD Chrome Web Store in order to install and use the webcam and microphone. In order to do this, please see the directions below:
- Write a story using the survival archetype.
- Write a poem retelling or referencing a myth.
- Create a documentary on a myth cycle.
- Create and define your own pantheon. Create a religion or myths from this cycle.
- Write a modern fairy tale or myth (see models we discussed in class; handouts/readings; and Grendel)
- Write about the significance or staying power or gender roles of a fairy tale or folk tale.
- Write a critical essay on the book Grendel (see discussion questions for ideas!)
- Write a story, play, or script using any variety of archetype.
- Write a story using Campbell's universal hero archetype.
- Use the psychology/philosophy of Klein, Erikson, Campbell, Jung, Galton or Kierkegaard, etc. to inspire a story/poem, script or essay.
- Rewrite/revise any previous MP1 or MP2 draft.
Please note that the Webcam and Microphone are not disabled on your Chromebooks. What is disabled is the native (built in) application that runs that hardware.
