9. Comparing and Contrasting “Cronus” and “Shrouded in Myth”:
As you learn more about myths, you will start to recognize things that many myths have in common. Today you are going to revisit a myth you read on the very first day of the module, “Shrouded in Myth,” and compare it to the “Cronus”.
Today we will do something similar to what we did with Percy Jackson and The Hero’s Journey with the Carousel of Quotes.
You will be looking at quotes from two different myths and thinking about how they compare or contrast.

10. Carousel of Quotes Directions:
1. Travel from chart to chart in your groups.
2. Read each of the passages.
3. As a group, discuss: “What is similar and different between the two passages?”
4. Write your thinking onto sticky notes, and stick those notes on the chart paper.
Today we are going to be looking very closely at passages from ‘Shrouded in Myth’ and ‘Cronus’. We are looking for things that are similar and different in the two passages. Talk with peers and explore ideas with them. You may see things that others don’t see. Others may see things that you don’t see.

11. Comparing and Contrasting “Cronus” and “Shrouded in Myth”
8 minutes will be allotted for the Carousel of Quotes
Venn Diagram - Turn to Page 64.
A Venn diagram is an organizer for recording how things compare (are alike) and contrast (are different); things that are the same go in the middle space, and things that are different go on one side or the other.
Add details to your Venn diagram; you will keep it for future reference.
