Creating a Myth versus the study of myth

 One of the ways in which creating a myth differs from the study of myth is in the sense that when I was studying myth I was trying to make sense of the meaning and look more deeper as to what the myth was about . When I created my myth I feel that I was able to be more loose and creative in making my own designs and incorporate some relevant information .  As well as when we create our own myth or we get the option to choose I think that's what makes the difference most . I learned that when I assign these kinds of assignments in my future classroom , I can see how students feel doing an activity that is at first challenging but necessary to get to the goal , then when they have the information they need they can write about their own myths and I think that they will truly enjoy that .

Learning Something New Everyday

  Hi  Everyone , my name is George Kalajyan and I'm currently a senior at CSUN in the FYI/JYI program to earn my bachelors and credentials in English to become a high school teacher. Ever since I was a little kid I knew I wanted to become a teacher when I was 6 years old my parents got me a white board and I would play teacher all day once I got home from school , I would pretend my room was the classroom and outside was the field so I would imitate the firearm and earthquake drills and read of imaginary student names.
