- What is a Myth? Quiz (28 points)

- Journal Prompt:

Before written language, myths were transported around the world through word of mouth, or oral tradition.  What are some modern myths or "urban legends" that you are familiar with?  Why haven't these stories been written down, and why do they keep circulating amongst us?

Your task for this journal is to think of one of these modern "urban legends" or myths and take initiative like Homer did - write it down.  And remember, these stories change throughout time (just like our game of telephone yesterday!), so feel free to add your own personal spin on the story!

- Get into your groups and begin the construction of your modern myth posters!
