Creation Story Writing Project
You will be creating a creation story modeled after the Sumerian creation myth we read in class.
First
You will be doing this project on Microsoft Powerpoint.
Then we will upload it into a Google Presentation.
At the end we will post it in your blogs.
Guidelines
Your myth must include:
At least 5 slides with at least 2-3 sentences each.
At least 3 pictures (Hopefully more!)
At least 5 Mesopotamia vocab words:
cuneiform Fertile Crescent
food surplus Ziggurat
