Create Your Own Constellation Myth

Read about the constellations at the link below:

Myths

Choose one of the constellations and write your own magical myth.  The myth needs to be at least one paragraph long.  (Remember our definition of a paragraph?)  You may submit your myth to me by writing or typing it on a paper and turning it in, or sending it to me by email (natalie@thepfamily.com.)

Good luck!

Tell Someone Else

Look back at your assignment from "Movie Time."  Take a look at the worksheet you filled out.  Pick three of your favorite facts and tell three other people about them.

After you are finished, you can use three ways to tell me how you did your assignment:

1 - List in the Comments section at the bottom of this post.
2 - Send me an email with your assignment (natalie@thepfamily.com)
3 - Write your assignment on a piece of paper and turn in at class.

This is what you need to tell me in your assignment:

Name
The three favorite facts that you told
The three people that you told the facts to

Post by next Thursday and good luck!
