Hero's Journey work notes

Hello 12s,

Thank you for working on your cycle #1 while I was up at Grouse with the grade 9s.

• I am posting feedback below on your Cycle #1 so you will be ready for next class.
•  I'll go over these with you in class (Dec. 8) and you'll have a few minutes to review them. 
• Then they become homework due Dec. 12

We will start cycle #2 Dec. 8 in class. This will be an individual assignment and is quiz weight. These are Due Dec. 14th.
Find two poems(see criteria) for Dec. 14th Here at Poetry in voice No repetition among class mates. 

Notes on Cycle #1:

• Name the Story and the 'Hero' at the top

• Must be charted on the circle as demonstrated. This should keep your text minimal.

• Do Not give synopsis!  Edit way down the amount of retelling you are doing. This is not a text rich assignment.

• The centre is Setting: Tell where but tell what it is like. How would you characterize it? ex. dark? foreboding? (It is NOT PLOT)

• What is gained through the preliminary trials? This is where the hero learns/gets/grows what is needed to transform/face the supreme ordeal . Tell us what is gained here. NOT PLOT ALONE

• Supreme ordeal is the moment of transformation for the hero. As such, it may not be the highest point of action.

• What Is the elixir? Name it. What is inherited/gained?

I am very much looking forward to what comes next! 

Ms. S
