Ask your learners to dream up a myth set in modern day. These mythology writing prompts require individuals take on the role of an ancient Greek citizen who just woke up to a totally different world. Through this lens, class members write a myth to explain something they don't understand (technology, transportation methods, etc.). They use the provided graphic organizer to brainstorm and structure their myth, and work with a partner to revise their work. The final product includes illustrations as well as the preparatory materials and the rubric.
