Jane Yolen is the co-author of Odysseus in the Serpent Maze, the first book in the 'Young Heroes' series (which is included in the annotated list of materials).
Scholastic offers a useful website called Myth Writing Workshops with Jane Yolen. Let author Jane Yolen teach students how to write a myth--"a story that expains a natural phenomenon in a creative way." Yolen offers four steps that teach students about myths and eventually help students create their own myth and publish it online. Teachers can adapt Jane Yolen's information and steps for use in their own classrooms or walk students through the actual website. Either way, students will be able to successfully write their own myths!
