Archetype Pod Presentations

A Review of Archetypes - Test your knowledge.
Archetype Statue Game
Think about which archetype would be the easiest to act out.
You will spread out around the room, in a squatting position.
Then, on a slow count to 4, they grow into a statue that represents a
specific archetype or character, such as a king or queen. (See list below.)
When everyone is ready, I will ask you to move the way your
archetype or character would move. When I say “Freeze,” all students
stop and squat again.
Start over with a different archetype.
Students must give each other space when they come to a squatting
position. No touching, running, or talking is allowed. Any student who
breaks the rules must sit out for one archetype before rejoining the game.
Archetype Activity
Create a recipe for the following archetypes. Then, give
example characters in books, movies, or TV programs that
adhere to your recipe.
§ A wise and brave leader
§ A loyal companion
§ A mysterious stranger
§ A feared outcast
§ A villain who plots the downfall of a person or group
of people
§ A naïve young person searching to become an adult
(bildungsroman)
*Example: Damsel in Distress
Recipe = wealthy + young + unmarried + beautiful + long hair +
isolated + helpless
Character = Ophelia, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella
