What Makes a Myth a Myth? Comparing “Cronus” and “Shrouded in Myth”

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Scholars complete a Venn diagram to compare and contrast Cronus and Shrouded in Myth. Learners work in their triads to write similarities and differences on sticky notes. They then take a look at the text The Key Elements of Mythology to determine what makes a myth a myth.
