Monday

You will be tested on Huckleberry Finn Wednesday. You don't have to read the ending of the book, but I'm giving you all a couple of days so that interested students will have time to finish.
The next work we will be studying is called "The Crucible." It is a play about Salem, Massachussetts and the famous (infamous) Salem witch trials. It's a very good play because it explores man's potential for  good and evil as well as the possibility for redemption from our mistakes. The play is a bit tough to follow at points, so I have you learn the following list of vocabulary:
Crucible  49 Terms

Share questing hero outlines

Listen to chapter 32 on the tape

HOMEWORK: read the ending of the book, or study vocabulary

Hand in your analysis of the Questing Hero archetype found in a movie or story you know. As you do this, answer the following questions:

1. Tell me who the mentor is and how you can tell
2. Tell me what the higher power is, and describe it
3. Tell me what must be defeated (monster, etc.) and why that challenge is too difficult for the average human to defeat
4. Find one other similarity between your character and the description of the typical questing hero

See this Google Doc for the Distinguishing Characteristics of the Questing Hero
