How did creating your own origin myth help you better understand why cultures use stories to explain the origins of people, places, traditions, or natural events? In your response, describe the choices you made while developing your myth and explain the lesson, value, or human responsibility you wanted your story to communicate.

 Creating my own origin myth showed me that storytelling can turn abstract ideas into concrete lessons. Explaining natural events with creative story telling can really bring home a central idea or moral. In my Origin myth, i wanted to show how there will always be challenges and it is important that you never lose sight of your goals despite any distractions. There will always be someone in the way and i think my story will convey that.

Summary: today in class we planned and wrote origin myths.

Reflection: I learned how to set up a story properly through writable.
