‘GENESIS’
What I Know What I Want to Know What I Learned
Settling in a new location or making a mark in a specific place is usually challenging. Several
adjustments have to be made and problems have to be solved. Hence, these genesis stories of
relocation, starting anew, or establishing beginnings are good materials for myths. Review the information
presented by your K-W-L Table. Use these points as springboard for your next activity.
Ask your parents or grandparents about how they or their ancestors settled in the place where
they are now. Research in the library to enrich the information from your elders. Use your imagination to
transform your gathered information into your family‘s genesis. Write a family myth in a series of three
five-to seven-sentence paragraphs. Apply your knowledge of pronoun-antecedent agreement. Include an
appropriate graphic organizer that shows the major events in the myth. You will be graded according to
the following rubrics.
20 - Correct use of language for coherence
20 - Creative use of story elements (i.e. characters, setting, conflict, etc.)
