Fragment Practice
FYI: Fragment QUIZ on Block Day next week.
ALLUSION: A casual reference in
literature to a person, place, event, or another passage of literature,
often without explicit identification. Allusions can originate in
mythology, biblical references, historical events, legends, geography,
or earlier literary works. Authors often use allusion to establish a
tone, create an implied association.
Why would each of these companies have used the icon/name from mythology? Why is it beneficial to have allusions to Greek/Roman mythology in a company's branding or name?
Activity: Myths Retold
- You will be assigned a group and a myth. It is your job to teach the myth, but there is one trick... It must be set in today's world. Use the characters, moral and plot from your myth, but with a modern day flare.
- What is required?
- Due block day! Presentations must be no more than 8 minutes.
- A member of your group must give a brief summary of your original myth.
- You and your group members must engage the audience in a way that they will definitely remember the myth you've taught them.
- Think, how can I make my story entertaining and visual enough to get people to pay attention and remember what I've taught?
- Grade: 20 pts. based on creativity (5), clarity (5), detail (5), and individual effort (5).
