*Small Group Discussion: I’ll check the close read and answers from yesterday
*Create list of similarities to other myths we read, how does it show Nat Am myth characteristics?
*Discuss other notes
*Discuss metaphor/metaphors
*Discuss things you are confused about: Work together to answer ALL questions or come up with ideas to help you understand the story.
*Come to a group consensus: What is the author’s purpose of this story? What is the author’s attitude towards Thomas Builds-the-Fire? Towards the gov’t/BIA?
*Your group needs to post as a comment to the most recent post on my blog: your list of characteristics, your answers to the last three questions, and at least three important things you talked about
*Peer Eval of Myth
*Print out paper copy for a peer
*When you get someone else’s story, you need to read it.  You are  looking for Native American Myth Characteristics and Narrative Techniques
*General Myth Characteristics

*If you want to write ways for your peer to improve their story, do so on the paper copy they have given you

*Evaluate each category and then overall
*If you aren’t done at the end of class, finish for homework
