• • UNDERCLASSMEN--Pick your own 2nd Hero film to view and take notes as we normally would during class. Please indicate your chosen film at the top of your notes and an explanation why you feel it is an appropriate film for the hero quest genre/category. As you take notes, indicate the stages of the hero as the character progresses through the plot. Date the notes as you normally would during class. It is fine to view the entire film in one sitting. You will only have one date listed, if that is the case. Notes due on google classroom by Friday, May 15, 2020 by 11:59pm
