This week we'll begin our studies of the earliest American literature -- Native American Creation Stories. On Tuesday you'll take notes during a powerpoint presentation on the introductory information from your literature anthology. Wednesday through Friday we'll look at the Native American literature found in your book, discuss the similarities and differences between the stories, then look for a common structure in all three stories. You'll use this information early next week to begin work on your own original creation story.
