Tell teams to analyze the descriptions they wrote in the previous activity so they are able to find the similarities and differences. Once they have them clear, invite teams to express them to their classmates orally. Tell them to use the connectors provided in the Learning to Learn section on page 118. Ask students what Zeus ordered Prometheus and Epimetheus to do (to create men and animals, and to give them a gift). Remind them that Epimetheus gave all the gifts to the animals; tell students to mention the gifts (strength, speed, warm fur, wings). Ask what Prometheus gave to men (fire, which he stole from the gods). Product: Illustrated Venn Diagram As you may recall, in this unit students will create an illustrated Venn Diagram in which they will compare two legends from different cultures. In this lesson, they will describe the conflicts of the legends they chose. Organize the class into teams, read the instruction aloud, and give them some time to write their descriptions. Encourage them to use a bilingual dictionary. This activity will be your third evidence in this unit; ask students to file it following the procedure you prefer. Self-evaluation Read the questions aloud to make sure students know what each of them refers to. Tell them to review the activities they performed in this lesson to answer and identify their areas of opportunity. Finally, encourage them to suggest ways in which they may improve. What does the conflict in a legend usually show? Ask students the question again and encourage them to answer considering what they have learned during this lesson. Explain to them that, in legends, the conflict is usually between good and evil.

Monitor walking around to check. 5. Write a description of the aspect you chose in each of the legends. Explain to teams that they should describe the aspect they chose in the two legends giving as many details as they can. Give them some time to do so while you walk around to offer any help they may need and to check their descriptions.
