In a few weeks we will be doing research on a Greek myth. We want our students to research Greek myths, choose one with the members of their group, research the one myth by finding at least two different versions, and present the myth in some form to the class (puppet show, video, skit, picture book). They also have to tell what purpose the myth serves.
My essential question is, "How do myths change over time and either explain human nature or provide direction/warnings from the gods?"
I have done the assignment before but never with an essential question. Is my question too broad or too narrow? It will be interesting to see if the student products are better with an essential question to guide their thinking and their work.
