The Illustrated Part of My Original, Illustrated Myth The myth should include one or more (more for the best grade) illustration that enhances the ideas of your myth. Remember our lessons on symbolism. You can draw pictures yourself or you can locate appropriate images online or in magazines. Be sure that the illustrations capture the key parts of your myth and that they add a visual layer to your story. If you use pictures from a computer source or a magazine, then you must include a bibliography.

Last Part of the Myth You should have a creative title for your myth. There should be a title page with the creative title and your name. An illustration for the title page would be great, but not required.
