Earth Stories, Sky Dreams: The Science of Myth
Step into a world where myths meet science! 🌟
This engaging storytelling assembly brings ancient creation myths to life, revealing how cultures across the Americas explain the Earth's evolution, natural phenomena, and the skies above. 🌞🌙 Through vibrant storytelling, puppets, and hands-on participation, students will step into the world of the Iroquois Sky Woman as she creates land from the ocean 🌊🐢 and follow the Cherokee buzzard as he shapes mountains and valleys with his mighty wings. 🦅⛰️
Students will bring these tales to life by acting out as forces of nature or lifting the Sky Father and Earth Mother apart, like the Māori legend of Rangi and Papa.
