Read a myth. Then, write about it in chant, poem, and story. Make any changes you wish to the text. Add any ideas you wish to the legend.

Cherokee Bear Myth

Cherokee Indians tell a story about a magic bear. The bear's magic works to feed people. The bear sits up and rubs his stomach, and -- wonder of wonders! -- he produces chestnuts, huckleberries, blackberries, and acorns. The bear brings forth fall fruits to keep both people and beasts alive through the long winter ahead.

Imagine you are a Cherokee boy or girl. It is morning. You run through the woods as quietly as possible; the forest floor, after all, is covered with crisp fall leaves. Your people's songs tell about Great Bear -- bearer of fruit. You want Great Bear to show himself, so you begin to chant (complete the chant):

Great Bear I am small
You are <  >
Come! Let me see you
Sit <  >  me
Rub <  >
Work your <  >!

Great Bear give <  >
<  >,
<  >,
<  >, and
<  > to bring back
<  >.

My people will <  >
<  > Great Bear
From <  >
To <  >
Through the long
<  >.

====================

Now, suppose it is high noon. You come to a clearing in the forest. Suddenly, the sun is blinding. You squint to see what lies ahead. There! Across the straw-colored grass a dark shape moves in a slow dance. You drop down low to watch, and you think: (Complete the rhyme.)

At noon I see <  > dance
I see him sway as in a <  >
His <  > head from side to <  >
His <  > chest <  >
Slow. He moves as slow as <  >.
Does he <  >? Does he see <  >?
Should I <  >? Should I <  >_?
No! No! Not I! I'm Cherokee!

====================

Then, as if he understands, Great Bear looks across the meadow. He stands very still. He seems to see you. With graceful dignity he sits down. Great Bear is so tall only the pads of his feet are covered by the straw-colored grass. A giant paw reaches up across his stomach. He rubs. He opens his cave-like mouth. His sound is the quiet roar of wind in prairie grass. When the sun hides behind a cloud, Great Bear disappears.

You <  > up to go <  >. Then, you see them. Great <  > of <  >, <  >, <  >, and <  >! There is enough to <  > through <  >! Quickly, now you <  > back <  > to <  > news. Listen, everyone! Cherokee will not <  > this <  >. Great Bear <  >.

====================

Name the Cherokee boy or girl in your version of Great Bear. Write about a day in the life of that character. Use "I" and write in the first person. Be sure to introduce yourself by name! For example, you might begin something like this:

I am called <  >. I belong to the Cherokee people who live <  >. (Continue to tell what happens to you on a certain day in the fall of the year.)

<  >

Compare your version of Great Bear with a neighbor's.
