Sixth graders have been reading a variety of myths and legends during this unit. They also researched and presented information about local Chicago legends. Legends about the Chicago Fire, Resurrection Mary, and the Cubs curse were the most popular with the class. They studied the characteristics of both types of stories in preparation for writing their own creative myth or legend. In class, students continue to draft stories and expand on their initial plot ideas. Students will submit the first draft of their story on Thursday, March 10th, and the final draft on Wednesday, March 16th. During class this week, I will be working with each student to provide feedback for improving their writing pieces before the final is due.
