We Call Them Graphic Novels

In the form of a graphic novel or comic book, write and illustrate a small episode from the book. You can choose any of the myths (though you do not, of course, need to do a full book for the entire myth. For example, an acceptable length would be the battle between Anzu and Ninurta). Use any medium you would like.

Some Light Research

Create a presentation about the tablets on which these myths are found. Include pictures of the tablets, information about where they were found, and anything about the researchers and translators who brought the Mesopotamian myths to the rest of the world. If you want to get really creative, sculpt a tablet for yourself and try to mimic some of the writing found on the real ones.
