Beginning/Engagement: Introduce the lecture by explaining what a legend is to the class. A legend is:
1) a legend has a beginning, middle and an end
2) it has a specific setting: time period and place with real people
3) they are passed down from generation to generation, and they evolve
over the years
4) it has some historical truth in it (give an example of King Arthur and
Excalibur)
5) There can be miracles that happen within the legend
*note: ask them first if they can tell you what a legend is and what the
characteristics are.
Middle: We will be creating a shape go map with the class on the smartboard.
