Myth~ we actually developed myths to explain something about the natural world!! We used the myth writing workshop from Scholastic to help us, and then we wrote our finals! Here are some of the ideas you came up with: "Why we have Stars", "The Origin of Snowflakes", "How the Giraffe got a long neck", and "The Origin of the Rainbow". WAY TO GO on this assignment!!!
