How WHS was renamed in your honor!

Alright, you have had practice and exposure to myth creation in groups, but now it is time for you to handle this business on your own.

Today, your assignment is this:

In the future, near or distant, Westlake High School will be renamed in your honor. Somehow, you become an awesome human being and accomplish some unimaginable feats. And, in recognition of this your high school alma mater is renamed in recognition of your incredible accomplishments.

Please make sure that you cover the following information in your myth.


  • Origin of the Main Character (YOU)


    1. Talk about your birth and family history or history of the time period in which you do your great thing.


  • Life of the Main Character


    1. Tell what makes you so special and different from someone else.


  • What you do that is so incredible that they rename the school.

  • Describe the ceremony.


    1. Parade, 21 gun salute, concert, national holiday, ribbon cutting ceremony...


  • Good/positive closing.
