Let's brainstorm some ideas for our legends!
What will your legend explain? What are some possible character names that you will use? Think about our character list that we started in class. Will the Creator/Great Spirit have a role in your legend? What about the number 4? Be sure to write 4 to 5 good sentences with the correct grammar and punctuation.
My legend will explain why the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. One name in my legend will be Wooden Boy. deer will be another name in my legend. The Great Spirit will give a family money, rain and crops in my legend. I still have to think about my legend.
ReplyDeleteI think that my legend will explain how birds got their wings. Some of the possible character names are: Running Wolf (possible), Holy Man (Sure), Young Wolf (pretty sure), Leon (SURE), White Horse (SURE!!), Grey Horse (SURE!) White Falcon (SURE), Black Horse (likely) and, Captain (SURE!!!!!!). The character roles in the legend: Running Wolf: Father of Young Wolf. He's one of the BEST hunters in the camp. Holy Man: The holy man of the camp. He advises Young Wolf on his journey to make birds. Young Wolf: The main character, Running Wolf's son, he sets out on a journey to make a bird. Leon: A random light eyed settler, he runs into the Native Americans,and becomes friends with them, but he tries to kill a buffalo and the buffalo tosses him off a cliff and he dies. White Horse: Father of Grey Horse and is a okay hunter. Makes fun of Running Wolf when he sets out to make a bird. Grey Horse: Son of White Horse: He's friends with Running Wolf and goes on part of the journey with Running Wolf, but he turns back when Running Wolf tells him to. White Falcon: The bird that Running Wolf creates, but dies when Black Horse uses him as target practice. Black Horse: Running Wolf's ultimate nemesis, he uses White Falcon as target practice and kills White Falcon, but when he kills White Falcon, he is banished from the tribe. Captain: No one knows. The Great Spirit WILL be in this legend. I may use the number four. I WILL reveal who Captain is, but not now. NO SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think that my story will be about a little girl who is very curious about the changing of the seasons. She wonders how it goes from crisp fall to snowy winter. And she did not have anyone around except her very old grandmother. She did not live very close to where the hunting grounds were. And so she goes on a journey for four years and meets a magical frog. So the main characters are the young girl and the frog. And she does go up to the spirit and ask for something. She also goes on the journey for FOUR years seeing how the seasons change.
ReplyDeleteOnce long long ago there was a little town in the plains that was very poor and had barely any food. There was a boy and his four brothers that were very hungry and had little money. One day the boy sets off to find The Great Spirit and along the way he finds a tall mountain. He climbed the mountain and prayed for The Great Spirit to come down. Then the sky got dark and rain poured down and shortly after The Great Spirit came down. The boy asked The Great Spirit for animals for the village to hunt. When he got back to the village to tell the villagers the news he was surprised to see many fires and also many buffaloes roaming around near the village. After that happened the villagers were never poor again.
