As part of the second embedded assessment, students will learn how to create an original illustrated myth. Students analyze a variety of traditional texts to deepen their understanding of the structure of a story, as well as to increase their understanding of character development. Students research mythical gods and goddesses, analyze texts for symbolism, and use visual techniques for effect. Students apply their knowledge of the elements and structure of mythical short stories as they write and illustrate their own myth.
