1. THE MATERIAL DIMENSION OF MYTH
Pick one of the five major world religions. You might want to consider a religion other than your own to offer the class something new. Find a myth from that religion that you can directly connect to something in the religion's material dimension.
Provide a link to a version of the myth and give us a very short (3-5 sentences) description of the myth.
Provide a link to the element of the material dimension that links to the myth and give us a paragraph that analyzes how the two are connected. For example: Is this an object that is part of a ritual? Is it used by believers to accomplish something? Does it teach believers something? Does it help a community express their beliefs? Is it something (like a work of visual art) that critiques the values/beliefs/practices etc. expressed by the myth, or offers a new perspective on the religion?
Offer a personal reaction to what you have found and discuss why you think it is particularly interesting.
