Today, we did some more practice with conjunctions. Then, students got together in reading groups to read a myth from a specific region of the world. Students read the myth together, discussed what the myth was about, what the purpose of the myth was and why and what this myth might demonstrate about something that myths "do." Students created a poster to teach the class what they had discussed and then presented these.
Then, we discussed the 6 purposes of myths:
1. To explain natural phenomena or an occurrence.
2. To explain the creation of the world.
3. To teach people moral lessons.
4. To explain some historical event.
5. To explain some ancient religious practices.
6. To reveal the common hopes and fears of mankind.
Tonight for homework, students are to complete "Exercise 5" on conjunctions from their grammar packet.
Homework: Conjunction work.
