03.18 - Creation Story Quiz, Essay, and Illustration

We started today's class with the creation story quiz.

When everyone was done taking the quiz, we corrected the quiz together discussing correct answers and taking a moment to verify answers in our class text.

After correcting the quizzes, we reviewed the rubric for the creation story essay (see handouts section below) and revisited our discussion regarding how to structure the essay. We then reviewed which creation stories people would be illustrating and the guidelines for this assignment which are as follows:

1 - Illustrate a moment or idea from one of the creation stories that depicts one of the essential moments or ideas from that story.
2 - Include with your illustration a quote (a sentence or phrase) that adds to the meaning of the illustration.

Everyone then had the remaining time to work on their essay or illustration.
