Presentation
Each group will examine one more modern cultural artifact and the Greek myth it is based in. You will
· present the myth to the class (plot, characters, what happens, who is who)
· explain what other stories it has influenced (if there are others besides the one you are doing)
· explain the most important parts (theme, conflict, characters, character flaw, climax, etc.)
of the modern story and the myth
· evaluate why the more modern creator has
a. chosen to tell a story using the ancient myth
b. made changes to the story/characters/message
The presentations should
· use creative elements to make it more engaging and lively, such as acting or dramatic readings
· be 8-10 minutes in length
· include all group members approximately equally
· be well-rehearsed in terms of language and structure
· display positive cooperation among group members
