In groups of 4-5, students will take a written Native American Myth and "bring it to life" with pictographs and performance in the oral tradition of the earliest American "authors."
All students will also be answering Oral Interpretation Questions based on the performances. Attached to this assignment are the questions worksheet and all the possible myths (8 total). Students may make additional copies and/or read myths to answer required questions if they are absent during a performance day (Thursday 9/19 & Friday 9/20).
