We began today's class with a mid-term assessment. Kind of like the course evaluations you do at the end of the semester, except this one's at the halfway point.
We talked about mimetic forms a great deal, and then about the utility of myth.
HOMEWORK
Write a flash fiction piece based on myth, fable, legend, or folk tale. Use one of the two strategies discussed in class: 1) Allowing an Old Myth New Life, or 2) Defamiliarizing a Common Myth. Both these strategies are discussed in the handout I gave you in class, which can be downloaded here.
