September 24
1. Quiz over 11-20 Literary terms--Quizlet
2. Work 30 min on Lottery assignment
3. Share the outline your creation myth. It doesn't matter to me if this is in standard outline form. A thorough
brainstorming sheet would be fine. I just need to see who the characters are in your myth, what
happens, and I need to see that you are going to answer at least one question that you have about
life (last night's homework) and at least one of your values needs to be evident.
4. Spend 30 minutes writing these, so you should come to class with a good start. This is fun!
HOMEWORK: Over the weekend you will write your own creation myth. 300-600 words. Due Monday.
