1. Begin with your own family. Myth or History, what's the difference?

Your first homework assignment is to make dinner for your family, or whatever it takes to get your elders to sit down for a spell because you will have to ask them questions. First, what it the difference between a myth and a history, explain to them what we learned in class about how history is proven with primary sources etc. Then ask your elders (it's really up to you to define who your elders are: big sisters, guardians, parents, long time friend of the family, grandparents...) to tell you a family "myth"
and then tell you a family "history." Lastly ask your elders, How do these stories help our family, what do they do for us? Your assignment it to listen. Do not post the answers. Do not tell me or your classmates your family's business; Do come to school knowing the difference between a myth and a history and how they can both be useful to knowing how the past lives in the present.
