Those links are well marked with button graphics at the bottom of the page. The Animals, Myths and Legends web site is actually a beginning development stage for a game that will later be played with a combination of CD-ROM and the Internet. This site was set up to help develop the characters, to receive input on legends and stories, and to explore myths and legends involving animals from many cultures. The legends and myths tell the stories of how the world began, where people came from, why animals are as they are and more. The Web site provides a good starting point for students to compare themes and ideas, and to learn about cultures.
Students can express themselves by submitting original drawings and stories to the site.
The games section has online activities and puzzles, and users who submit stories could win a prize. The site could also be used by social studies and culture studies teachers to show similarities and differences among cultures in a fun way. Inc. All Rights Reserved.
