Tuesday, September 6th

Pre-AP
Folklore and myth make up a vital part of our contemporary literary canon, and it is especially pervasive in a sub-genre of folklore known as Native American myth.  In today's class, we began by talking about Native American myth and students were exposed to the legend of Ut'lun'ta, and ancient Cherokee myth about a woman who roams the forest. 

AHSGE Reading Review
Today's lesson was on figurative language.  The class broke into groups and read through several different Native American myths, in which they were to find examples of figurative language.  The students also retold the stories as a group to the class.
