My medieval literature creative project was to adapt an aspect of a medieval text for a modern audience. I went with Sir Orfeo, a late 13th-early 14th century Breton lay that adapted the Ancient Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice into the setting of medieval England by combining elements of Christianity and Celtic mythology.

If you want to read it for yourself, here's a link to the Middle English version and a translation supposedly by J.R.R. Tolkien.
