Today:
We started with journal prompt #2: If you could choose three super powers, what would they be and how would you use them? 1 page.
We defined the classical hero. We looked at our need for a hero, and why we are always waiting for superman. We discussed people that might be modern heroes.
I introduced you to Joseph Cambell and his book, The Hero With a Thousand Faces. I gave you a handout in preparation for your fist paper. We went over the basic concepts of the Hero's journey.
We looked at Star Wars and other popular stories that follow this formula.
HW: Please find a movie/book that follows this formula and be prepared to explain how it follows the outline that you were given.
