Part A: Scavenger Hunt – Historical Myth
Identify a foundational myth or important cultural myth from the history of a country other than the United States, provide a citation with a link to the story, and list three national values you think the story is conveying.
Part B: Discussion Question
Choose one of the following options.
Option #1 – National Values
FIRST – summarize a cultural story or describe a common historical or cultural character from the United States that you think conveys specific national values. SECONDLY – identify three specific values and point to specific parts of elements of the story or character that help reinforce those values. FINALLY – explain something specific that might be lost in history by the story’s mythologization process or character you chose. Option #2 – What You Learned
FIRST – choose one of the myths we have covered this semester from a culture that is not your own and that you did not already talk about in any other assignments and briefly summarize it. SECONDLY – explain two things you think you learned about that culture from this myth. These can be things like societal structures, attitudes towards different genders, the relationship between the human and the divine, moral values, what is considered humor, etc. FINALLY – compare and contrast what you have learned about that culture from the myth to your own culture. Identify some similarities and differences and explain how you drew these conclusions.
