Greek Myths: Supplemental Guide CA | Culminating Activities 215

one person should quickly sketch or write the name of another

character from the same myth and pass the paper and pencil to

the second student. The second student should quickly sketch

or write the name of a setting from that myth and pass the paper

and pencil to the third student. The third student should write one

sentence or key phrase about the plot of the myth. Once all three

sections of the paper have been fi lled out with character, setting,

and plot, the group should raise their hands.

Remind students that their sketches and writing do not need to be

perfect, but that their sketches and writing do need to relate to the

myth.

Give each group the opportunity to orally share its drawings and/

or writing.
