Mythology Venn Diagram

Greetings, students!

We have now finished reading Mythology by Edith Hamilton, and it is time to start brainstorming ideas for your summative assessment, which will be a formal essay.  I want the paper to be comparative in format, which means that you would greatly benefit by creating a Venn diagram prior to writing.  For your benefit, I am assigning that you each create the Venn diagram on Inspiration that compares traits of Greek mythology with traits of another culture's mythology or religion.  You are free to do independent research on any religion or system of mythology.  You could also use the section at the end of Hamilton's text on Norse mythology.  Think critically when creating the diagram and come up with numerous similarities and differences because you will need to generate a 6-8 page formal essay from the information you gather.

Thanks,
Ms. Peterson
