Cave Mythology: Monday, March 18, 2019

Announcements and Reminders:

Your Movie Monomyth project is due on the 20th. We will have work time with Chromebooks today. If you haven't watched the video yet, you could still set up an outline (basic slides or pages) for your project, then finish the project at home.

Please be ready to present on the 20th. It will take more than one class to share the projects, but to receive full points, you must be prepared when you are called to share.

If you didn't finish or didn't do the Hero's Journey story on the template, see the instructions and link here: Friday, March 8, 2019.

If you were absent for the Native American stories, look for a packet in the hand-back basket for your class.
