Created by Scholastic, the Myths Brainstorming Machine is a website that helps students brainstorm and map out their own myth. Do students want to face adventure in a cave or on a mountain by the sea? Would they prefer to battle a hydra or a four-eyed beast? This interactive website allows students to enjoy creating their own myth, where they choose the location, god or goddess, and the terrifying beast.
Unfortunately, the Myths Brainstorming Machine is not specific to Greek mythology, so it includes locations, gods, and monsters from other cultures, too. Nevertheless, the website is a fun way to help students start to envision their own myths. A great beginning for an English class's "Create Your Own Myth" creative writing assignment!
