7th Period - The Phoenix Rises?


What happened? We kill ourselves to deliver an entertaining lesson and you're snoozing on us? Remember...the phoenix always rises from the ashes, and you can too. We have faith in you.

Don't forget: both hero journey worksheets are due on Friday at the beginning of class. We can't wait to read about your journey and the weird and wonderful creatures and challenges you have encountered.

Wasn't that a great story? The performer did a particularly good job of narrating the story. Plus, we got to listen to some cool travelin' music! " I go walkin' after midnight..."

Top Five Lessons from Today:

  1. Nominative equals subject, objective equals object
  2. There are many stories that are hero journeys.
  3. The heroes journey has many stages and common characters, including helpers and tricksters.
  4. The hero journey follows a predictable path.
  5. Always look for many examples of symbolism throughout the journey. Can you name three examples of symbolism from "A Worn Path"?
