Parodies, satires, and modern day adaptation are rich with literary elements. They are valuable assets for teaching students about literature. Through creative writing, students learn to use literary elements in context, committing them to memory.

Students will create storyboards depicting their new god or goddess. Some things that must be included are the domain, power, symbol, and weakness.
