You'll need these links:

Urban Legend Page (amphi.com)

Snopes.com

Urban Legends & Folklore (about.com)

Here's the second part of the assignment:

You're going to make a Powerpoint about urban legends. Using the links above, find three urban legends.

1. A believable one that's NOT true
2. An unbelievable one that's NOT true
3. An unbelievable one that IS true

Add each of these to your Powerpoint, each on a separate page. Don't copy and paste, but rewrite them in your own words.

Once you've done that, make up your own urban legend. It should be NOT true, but fairly believable. The goal is to make it blend in with the others. Add your own legend to your Powerpoint, too.

In your Powerpoint, don't tell which legend is which until the very last slide. Mix them up, and we'll see if the others can tell which ones are real and which aren't.

Guidelines for your urban legends (from the website and the one you make up):

• Must be school-appropriate. Nothing with icky gory death and/or nekkid stuff.
• Your own legend must not be about any real people. Make up names. And no stuff like "Principal Billiams", either.
