PART I. VISUAL ANALYSIS AND ARCHETYPES IN CHILDREN'S FILMS
In part one, you will view a children's film trailer. Afterward, you will zoom in on particular archetypes that emerge within the narrative. Finally, you will incorporate the archetypes you identified into a review of the film. The review should be 1-2 paragraphs in which you speak specifically --- either positively or negatively --- about the way that the film's writers were or were not successful as they embedded archetypes into the narration.
Here is your film trailer: Willow, with Val Kilmer.
Here is a list of archetypes for you to consider. 12H: Please use a theoretical lens through which to filter your embedded archetypes narration.
PART II. LANGUAGE ANALYSIS IN PRINT CHILDREN'S LITERATURE
In part two, you will read a short story that combines fantasy and reality. Afterward, you will zoom in on particular uses of language within the story. Finally, you will incorporate the language you chose into a critical paragraph in which you compose and defend an argument statement.
Here is your short story: "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty," by James Thurber.
Review the Oral Tradition Terms Quizlet for ideas about ways to consider language in the short story.
Afterward, write a critical paragraph that captures how James Thurber calls upon the Oral Tradition to create a story for a current generation of readers. 12H: Please use a different theoretical lens than you did in Part I. to filter your Oral Tradition analysis.
