Before my group even chose are myth we each divided the texts out individually to each other to narrow it down. Then presented each text to our group. We then narrowed it down to which story we favored and felt we could do justice. After taking notes and talking amongst our group we chose the story "The Areca Tree." The way the class was structured really did an excellent job at guiding our experience and giving us a warm handoff for how we created our own myths personally. Working with a team together gave us a collaborative experience to bounce off each other and work hand in hand with our myth presentation.

Hi there my name is Sage (he/they) I am a senior at CSUN and studying ESM. I do believe media tech is necessary to a certain extent. It is a great way to find resources in a fast and accessible way.
