Friends, here is the latest version of what I've developed for a choice project when it comes to our students tracing the creation archetype in stories of their choosing: [|CreationProject-ReadResearchTeach.doc]
 * Creation Project: Read-Research-Teach**

Here, too, is a template for students to chart/make note of their classmates' presentations: [|Template-CultureCompChart.doc]

In addition, the amazing Kathy McClelland has already pulled a resource cart together for us to use in the library; my students and I are headed there for two days next week! CT

Creation Chart of Archetype Here is the chart that I use and have the students generate. We fill it out first without the the why column then add it together. LAL

This is the Essay Test that I have used in the past that covers multiple archetypes. LAL

Thanks to Carter and Paula, here is the assignment I will use to research the other creation myths. I am also posting a one page rubric to give to students and a two- pager that I will use for feedback. I also plan to have have each student self-assess her overall project and her individual role.
