Description
EDITABLE! Just like ancient civilizations observed the night sky and created myths to tell stories of the stars, students write their own myths after creating their own constellation as they graph their name.
All civilizations have mythology to tell the stories of the stars! Pick any civilization and create a social studies connection with the star tales of the Greeks, Romans, Native Americans, Africans, Aboriginals, India, and South Americas just to name a few!
