Since the chapter "Brief Myths Arranged Alphabetically" contains very short accounts of many myths, this is an excellent opportunity to practice oral reading.  Choose a story, and email me your choice.  Story selection will be first-come, first-served. 

After your story selection is approved, practice reading your story aloud several times before recording your selection on Audacity.  Follow these directions:
