10/28 Urban Legends continued....

10/27/2014

Looking at the Urban Legends site from yesterday choose one of the legends. (Choose a different one from yesterday) Create a list of distinguishing details in the legend:

- Who is involved?
- Where does it take place?
- What happens? What is the event that is meant to scare or teach?
- What is the moral or caution?

Using an online search engine search for two other versions of the legend and compare these distinguishing characteristics.

What changes? What stays the same? Why do you think some of the details change? Which version is most convincing?
