Difference between a Myth or Legend?

144

According to Oban: Legends are stories that have been made up, but they are

different from myths. Myths answer questions about how the natural world works, and are

set in a time long-ago, before history was written.

Legends are about people and their actions or deeds.The people lived in more recent times

and are mentioned in history. The stories are told for a purpose and are based on facts, but

they are not completely true.

http://www.planetozkids.com/oban/what-are-legends.htm

According to E2BN: What are legends?

A legend is a semi-true story, which has been passed on from person-to-person and has important meaning or symbolism for the culture in which it originates. A legend usually includes an element of truth, or is based on historic facts, but with 'mythical qualities'. Legends usually involve heroic characters or fantastic places and often encompass the spiritual beliefs of the culture in which they originate.

What are myths?

A myth is a story based on tradition or legend, which has a deep symbolic meaning. A myth 'conveys a truth' to those who tell it and hear it, rather than necessarily recording a true event. Although some myths can be accounts of actual events, they have become transformed by symbolic meaning or shifted in time or place. Myths are often used to explain universal and local beginnings and involve supernatural beings. The great power of the meaning of these stories, to the culture in which they developed, is a major reason why they survive as long as they do - sometimes for thousands of years. http://myths.e2bn.org/teachers/info311-what-are-myths-legends-and-folktales.html

Email sent to staff regarding the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)

Happy Monday to all,

Today my 6th period students begin their BYOD (bring your own device) part of our Mythbusting PBL. During 6th period today and tomorrow, my students will be walking

from room to room asking for students and teachers to take a survey on their own hand-held device (cell phone, tablet, etc.) regarding a myth/legend. The survey should take no more than one minute.

The expectations are my students will come in quietly and courteously and ask for your

permission to administer the survey to you and a few students in your classroom. No names will be collected during the survey and it is completely anonymous.

Should this be an interruption to your classroom, please feel free to post a "Do Not Disturb" sign outside your door.

I have attached a "Do Not Disturb" sign in this email should you need one.

Again, this survey will only be administered today and tomorrow.

Thank you for your understanding and I apologize for any inconvenience this may have upon your 6th period.

Project-Based Learning Lesson – School H

Climate Essay Instructions

Background

Climate Change is a well-documented trend in

meteorology. Data strongly suggest that this climate change

is largely created by human input of Carbon Dioxide into the

atmosphere. This gas is a known greenhouse gas which

means the gas traps heat in the atmosphere. Furthermore, the

current warming pattern has begun to release methane gas from certain regions.

Methane is an even more potent greenhouse gas. Though there are natural releases

of carbon dioxide and other factors creating a warming global climate, after these

are included, the majority of the change has been revealed to be caused by the

burning of fossil fuels such as coal and oil as well as a reduction in the health of

the forests and oceanic plankton from deforestation and pollution.

As some areas have warmed this has also forced a change in weather

patterns to create more extremes of weather and changes in weather patterns. These

changes in weather patterns, including generalized global warming, require people

to adjust to more variation in the local climate and ultimately a risk of massive

coastal flooding.

Though the scientific community of meteorologists and climatologists are

united in the causes and consequences of climate change, politicians and various

groups of people continue to ignore or even deny the causes and potential

consequences of climate change preventing significant global action on this issue.

155

Some political action has come forth though with meager support and little

impact. As climatologist warn of the need for immediate action, politicians and

populations have shown themselves to be unwillingly to begin any aggressive

action that could mean major changes to the way of life in developed countries and

potentially devastate their economies. Simultaneously, the nations which are most

vulnerable to the changes already in force are those least able to adjust.

This resistance is strongly influenced by the costs involved and the potential

need to change entire lifestyles as well as the natural variation in climate making

definitive patterns more difficult to perceive locally. Gradually, communities and

nations are accepting the need for action. The larger question is gradually

becoming twofold, what strategies should be employed and who should bear

the cost. Undeveloped countries resent being asked to bear the cost both in the loss

of development of industry and being forced to pay for the cost of dealing with a

changing climate created by wealthier nations.

Tasks

1) In an introduction, section one, document examples of climate change and the

impacts created by that change both physically and politically. 2-3 pages.

2) In section two, discuss numerous strategies to combat climate change in at least

two major areas, reducing the input of greenhouse gases by using alternatives

and ways human populations can adapt to a more variable and unreliable

climate. 3-4 pages.

3) In section three, take a position regarding what changes should be made and

who, if anyone should take responsibility for creating and paying for the

needed changes or, alternatively, why no action needs to be taken. Use your

references to support your argument. 2-3 pages.

156

4) Use research based evidence to support each point that you make in each

section. Make use of newspaper articles, magazines, books, and scientific

research.

5) Create a references page and be sure to refer (cite) that source when using

information found from there. There should be at least ten different resources

with at least three coming from a scientific journal source. There should be a

minimum of three references for the first section, at least five in the second

section, and at least two in the third section.

6) Create a multi-media Google slideshow of your position. This should be no less

than 20 slides and should include student created videos of at least two minutes

each on at least 3 slides either highlighting your views or dramatizing the

effects of climate change. There should also be a minimum of three slides with

graphs or charts.

7) At the end of your paper, make a personal statement of your own observations,

opinions, and efforts regarding pollution in your community.

Procedure

21st century learning involves the ability to use technology to communicate

and collaborate with others to create a product, in this case your argument

paper. This paper also requires you to think critically about the choices to be

made while you argue your point. You will work in pairs to collect your

information, discuss your ideas, and create your argument paper using Google

drive. Finally, you will use Google slides to create a multimedia slideshow

157

presentation such as could be used to present your thoughts to others. You and

your partner will be asked to document your collaboration.

Pre Baseline Survey Results for questions #38, #39, and #44


I could do so much better than I am currently doing if I just try in school.

The harder I work, the smarter I get.

Knowledge/ Education can never be taken away.

If i become more productive in school, my knowledge shall increased dramatically.

I can study a little more before a test or an assignment.

I could learn more while doing work.

I think I can always becoming a smarter person if I put the effort into succeeding.

One isn't born smart or dumb, it is determined by many factors. With some hard work, anyone can gain intellect.

Depending on my work load, I challenge myself to do the best that i can until I understand.

hi.

Depending on the situation is how I believe how smart I am is something I can change.

The level of understanding I have of a certain subject or concept can be positively altered with effort from my behalf and instruction from someone

180

who knows how to guide the learning taking place; a teacher for example could see that I might be doing something wrong in an attempt to learn or try the concept being taught out for myself and re-instruct the way I'm running the assignment.

I will not be less smarter than I am today but I can always improve and learn new things to better myself.

I can be smarter and achieve more if I wanted to.

The knowledge given to me i make sure i want to memorize.

Question 44: Pre-Survey Responses

#44 Average = 2.71

181

Post Baseline Survey Results for questions #38, #39, and #44


If I learn more, I can become smarter.

I can always study and do more than what is needed.

I tend to lean more toward something I already know and improve I I it.

I always learn something new every day no matter how small nor how big.

By reading books and talking more classes that will help me learn more

Smartness comes naturally the rest is just working hard and studying.

With hardwork you can change a lot, including how smart you are. You might never be as smart as someone who is "naturally smart" but you can certainly try and just trying hard will get you somewhere.

I feel that by learning more, especially with a class that interests me, I can and will be able to learn everything. I want to be able to learn and do things on my own sometimes I do not feel smart enough that I have to ask others for help.

I adapt well in any situation

I can push myself to do better.

I know I can do better if I study more.

I believe a student can better themselves if they work hard and they deserve what they get because of it.

182

If you want to be successful and learn, you will try hard to become more intelligent.

Depending on my mood.

I could be alright with Google docs but after using it for a group project I would learn more about its uses.

If I keep on continuing my education

One can always change how much they know in any given task, subject, or about a given concept, it is a matter of effort.

Beginning of

intervention

I only did a lot of

research because

the information

about climate

change was

interesting.

Its great to

collaborate

especially if you

are at home.

It still feels great

to use because it

is helpful in

researching.

I did not

accomplish much

today because I

was only reading

the articles about

climate change.

Middle I researched and

continued

working on the

essay for the

introduction.

It is great

because you can

get things

finished quickly.

It is not the best

way but it sure is

one of the great

ways to

collaborate. It

comes second

after

collaborating in

person.

I researched on

climate change

internationally

and keep

learning more

about how it is

affecting us.

Late Middle I researched and

worked on my

papers.

It is great for

collaborating

because its live

work.

I had used it

before and i still

believe it is

perfect for

students working

together.

i worked on my

papers and

researched

climate effects

on politics.

End I researched

about the ways

humans adapt to

climate change

rather than fixing

and helping the

problem, and

also documented

it on Google

Drive.

Google Drive is

great to

collaborate,

especially if you

are working

together at the

same time.

My feelings have

stayed the same

and I believe

Google Drive is

the perfect way

to collaborate

with lab partners.

I researched and

worked on the

adaptation of

humans on

climate change.
