The Writing

The Artwork

• One of you should create some artwork for your presentation – perhaps as some PowerPoint slides.

The Role Play

• Your group needs to produce some drama to illustrate your Creation story. Work out your script and action and rehearse it carefully. Think about what props you will need.

Your group will present your Creation story to the class. This presentation will include your written work, your artwork and your drama.

When your presentation is over the class and your teacher will ask you questions about your Creation story. Be prepared: make sure you know all the parts of your story.
