Today we continued practicing the Hero's Journey by watching the Disney's Hercules. If you were absent, print off a copy of the Hero's Journey chart and draw a Venn diagram or T-chart in your notebook. Watch the movie on Netflix up until the scene where Meg and Hades first talk. As you watch, track the steps of the Hero's Journey that you see and on your Venn Diagram or T-chart make note of the similarities and differences between the original Greek myth and Disney's version of the story.
Today we learned about The Hero's Journey or The Monomyth, the idea that every story has the same basic elements: a hero who embarks upon a quest, faces trials, and returns home changed. If you were absent, use this powerpoint to take notes on all 12 steps of The Hero's Journey.
