Writing a Myth

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Use this writing prompt and brainstorming page to help your pupils prepare to write their own myths. Individuals must choose a natural event to explain, come up with a protagonist and an antagonist, determine a setting, and think of a conflict. Each of these story elements has its own explanation on the page paired with space for students to write.
