The myth should include one or more (more for the best grade) illustration that enhances the ideas of your myth. Remember our lessons on symbolism. You can draw pictures yourself or you can locate appropriate images online or in magazines. Be sure that the illustrations capture the key parts of your myth and that they add a visual layer to your story. If you use pictures from a computer source or a magazine, then you must include a bibliography.
