There is just one additional assignment for the week. You will be presenting it on Zoom at 1:30 on Thursday. If you cannot make the class, contact me for Plan B.
Here is the task:
Create up to 10 PowerPoint slides. With those slides, you will share a myth from a culture other than the Greeks & Romans that is powerful or meaningful to you or to our culture.
- First: Explain what is happening either in your personal world or in the world at large that could be impacted either for good or for ill by the myth and culture you have selected.
- Second: Talk about the culture you selected. In what ways did this myth influence that culture? Why was the myth important?
- Third: Visually share the story. You may use graphics or you may "draw" or create the story in some other art form.
- Fourth: Orally share the story as you show it to us. Keep in mind that the ancient myths were shared orally as stories. In addition, many cultures left drawings on trails, in sacred caves, or on the walls of temples. These were powerful stories to the ancients.
- Fifth: Leave us with a message.Many of the stories were designed to teach a powerful "truth." What can we learn from your story and from the ancient culture you selected? What do we have in common with the ancients? Why is Mythology important for us in 2020?
You will submit your PowerPoint on Canvas.
You will need to place a copy of your PowerPoint on your desktop so that you will be able to share it on Zoom. If you have trouble doing that, let me know. If you send it to me attached to a Canvas message, I should be able to download it to my desktop and open it for you on Zoom. We should probably try this in the morning of May 7.
If you decide to simply share the information by holding a visual or two, that will be OK. The sharing of the culture, link to our time, and the story are the most important elements.
You have five minutes to share the information on Thursday.
Happy story searching! I am looking forward to your stories.
