*Bell Ringer: In Writer’s
notebook: Why do people tell stories? What is the point of an “oral tradition”
of storytelling? What are some origin/creation stories you’ve heard? Why do
people tell these stories? Write the whole time given, if you run out of
‘answers’, just write about stories/storytelling in general
*ACT Essay
practice evaluation
*Discuss
writing expectations this semester
*Make sure you
have three colors of writing utensils/highlighters
*Puritan Notes
*Native American myths
*Creation Myths- Iroquois in packet and “The World on the
Turtle’s Back” page 38 Orange *Take notes on chart while reading or at end of reading. This
is what definitely should be noted: what origins are explained, what characteristics
shown, similarities and glaring differences (for this you want main plot and character
points): both stories and the two columns of the chart are due Monday.
*Myth prompt (if time)
*Try your hand at an origin/creation myth: model it after
one of the stories we’ve read, or go your own way. It needs to have some of the literary
characteristics/qualities of myths from our notes
