Studying the role that myths play in religion? Big Myth<\/a> has some great animated creation myths from the around the world. Just click on on area and the myth will load. Many are available free but you can order a disc for a nominal fee and get them all. You can even download the creation stories in a PDF. These work well for both younger and older students. My religion students, mostly juniors and seniors, loved them last year.<\/p>\n

In addition to listening to creation myths, students can also examine different ways of interpreting myths from this university site<\/a>. Maybe students could make a list and try to find myths that fit into the different categories.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
