• Jason and the Argonauts
• Remember, your myth should be no longer than 8 minutes, should retell the story in an updated setting from today's world, and is due block day!
• Grade: 50 pts. based on creativity, clarity, detail, and individual effort.

• Hades and Persephone 
• Pyramus and Thisbe 
• Echo and Narcissus
• Jason and the Golden Fleece
• Orpheus and Eurydice
• Theseus and the Minotaur

• To get an A, your project should clearly tell the story in a memorable way and creative way. The audience should enjoy it and possibly even be able to interact. It should be technically clean and easy to watch and hear. It should be clear what each member of the group was responsible for. Lastly, maybe I should mention the obvious that it should be school appropriate! 

Today's Goal: Plan what/how you will complete this project. Monday should be a day of action and crafting!
