Homework:
~ALL: Watch and reply to at least three (3) of your classmates' videos. Which story has the most potential to shape into a Hero's Journey, in your opinion? Why? Be respectful and use appropriate academic language register.
~Honors: Research Joseph Campbell and the hero's journey. You may also consider "the power of myth." There are numerous articles, book excerpts, and the like. Based on your findings, publish a 300-500-word informative post on the Hero's Journey, connecting it to a music video, show, movie, etc. You may not use Katniss, Harry Potter, or Frodo, as those were the examples in the TED-ED video we watched together. As always, include at least one image/gif/video and one embedded link to a resource you consulted.
