Cultural Myths and How Geography Impacts Values

Sharing stories that explain an important event or lesson is one way that cultural knowledge and values are remembered. Recall that a myth is a traditional story that communicates such information

Some islands are created by the buildup of volcanic rock after an eruption. Imagine living on an island created by a volcano. In this dangerous world, surrounded by water, you can imagine how identity, adventure, and nature became important cultural values in Polynesian mythology.

Siberia makes up a part of the Arctic Circle. It is known for its extreme temperatures. To survive, the people must live in harmony with nature. This value is passed on in their oral tradition through myths.

As you annotate today, you should focus on the following literary elements:

  • Circle the characters in the story
  • Underline the sections that discuss the setting
