Below are descriptions for four items your group has come across. Your goal is to name all four items and create a myth that incorporates the items you have named and reflects the cultural beliefs of your community.

__Item 1 __

This item has an engine, four wheels and what looks to be a smiling face with eyes that shine blinding light into the night sky. The mouth can only be opened by someone else and it has wings made of the reptilian skin of a snake. It can travel on land, by and by air. What would you name it.

__Item 2 __

This is the process by which a person evaporates from one locale and is reconstructed in another location. During this process, a person’s skin color, age, weight, height and eye color is all changed. It happens randomly and no one can predict it or stop it from happening. What would you call this?

__Item 3 __

This item is a smell that describes the scent that emanates from the rear end of item number 1. It is not a fowl order but has a dark color and can change the color of your skin if it touches you. It has a sweet flowery smell mixed with a deep rich earthy smell. What would you call this odor?

__Item 4__

This item seems to be an odorless, colorless gas from which animals you have never seen before keep appearing. You were brave enough to put your hand in the gas and it seemed to disappear. Your arm reappeared when you pulled it out. What would you call this gas?

Here is a list of morphemes that you may find helpful during this activity. You may use other morphemes, but the words must be original. The goal is to give original name to these unique items. Be creative!
