Today:
We tracked down your journals and started the first 15 minutes doing a free-write.
I attempted to make the connection with what you wrote to the core concepts of heroic deeds.
We defined hero and examined modern day examples. We had a good talk about 911 and your feelings on the vents 10 years ago. I find it still hard to talk about.
I introduced you to the hero's quest, and passed out notes defining the concept.
I asked you to brainstorm on popular movies and stories that follow this mold. Please finish this for HW.
We looked at the power of mythology and had a discussion on why stories tied to these things have a deep lasting impact on us as humans.
These notes will be leading us towards our 1st paper assignment that I will assign this week.
