Some thoughts about the storytelling

I was thinking about the myth that you have to re-tell.

When you'll do that, try to get the meaning of this exercise: its not about how well you know the story, nor on how well you tell it. It's just about how you tell it, what you include and what you exclude, what you stress and what you don't. It is about the elements of you that will lie in it. This means that you should not write it being concerned with the marking; do not sit down with a printed copy of the myth on one side and just rephrase it, the point would be completely missed.
In fact, what I would suggest is: read it as soon as possible, maybe twice, and then just let it be for some weeks. When the day will come for you to sit down and write it (or paint it, or facebook it, or sing it, or powerpoint it, or put it down in verses or whatever mean you can imagine...and the mean of course is instrumental to the goal, be aware) don't read it again, and what you will remember more vividly will constitute your own way of metabolizing it.
Once again, the assessment is more for your partecipation rather than for your accurate and detailed description of the myth. As every myth, it has a precise pattern: once you have understood it, after your first thorough reading, feel free to move within that pattern.
Just find a way to have fun with it.
(Of course, if you end up telling the story of Little Red Riding Hood, something has gone terribly wrong, or else your brain has a rather peculiar pattern of associations)

I hope you see my point (I tend to be right).
