Why snow falls from the sky!
• In your talk partners think of five words to describe snow.• In your talk partners think of a creative idea as to why it might snow. Not scientific!
Mind MappingWe are now going to create our own mind map to help us
plan our myth ‘Why snow falls from the sky’. What do you think we should put in the middle of our
map? Something to summarise our myth.How many branches will we need? At least six main
branches:Characters – Hero, monster, damsel, Introduction – create a settingBuild up – set your hero on a questMain body – surround your hero with conflictsConclusion – bring your myth to an endThe natural event – according to the story...
How many second level branches will we need?

myth.Characters names, feelings, emotions, places,
etc.Use lots of colour in your map, colour co-
ordinating branches.
