PLZ HELP!! A Handbook to Literature, Sixth Edition, Holman and Harmon Throughout the novel Things Fall Apart, myths are used as a part of daily life. Some examples of myths are why the mosquito flies near the ear (p.75) or the story of why the tortoise's shell is not smooth (p.96-99). Some other examples are on p. 69 and p.53. For this activity you will create a myth to explain something natural. Do not try to take on too big an idea. Rather, create an interesting story around a simple idea. You will be presenting this myth to your ST in your learning record meeting. Your myth must include the following: It must be at least 500 words long and no longer than 750 It must explain something simple and natural It must include some kind of a visual component to the presentation. You can create a collage, do a small performance, use masks, or come up with another idea. You should try to emulate the style of writing used in Things Fall Apart.
