Assignment:

You will address what archetypal roles are present in the myth "The Yoruba Creation Myth", and be concise with your explanations and focus on gathering your ideas and resources.

In a 350 to 550 word essay, do the following:

1. List one or two of the major characters in the myth and match them to their archetypal roles.
2. Briefly identify what nonmaterial culture (beliefs, values, norms, or customs and traditions, etc.) you think these archetypes and the storyline represent from the myth's culture and briefly explain why.
3. Identify one theorist's approach not related to the archetypes that you could use to discuss the relationship between the myth and the nonmaterial culture and briefly explain how it applies. Examples of these theoretical approaches can be found in Week 1's Required Learning Materials (Frazer, Jung, Bell, Durkheim, Levi-Strauss, etc.).
4. List three credible scholarly sources that will help you explain the meaning this myth and its major figures have in the culture or society where this myth comes from. Make sure to use reliable scholarly sources and cite these appropriately.
5. Provide a brief annotation (one sentence) for each scholarly source, noting how it will help you with this paper. For example: "This resource will help me understand Maori culture."
