Hero's journey

Watch from start till 02:50.

The hero's journey 

What is it?​ > Individual / male / ‘western’ perspective?​

Archetypes​ > Why would this be such a popular genre (historically)?​

Can you think of any other character archetypes? (= a very typical example of a person in a story)

Reflection > Reading experience

Reflection questions

Do you remember the first story/novel you read? Were there any stories that stayed with you?​ Did they have a positive / negative outcome? How did it influence you?

Discuss / write down a couple of sentences.

Predicting > Reading literary fiction

Reflection questions

What are your thoughts on literary fiction? Have you read any books that fall in this category (so no YA fiction)? What do you expect to learn / experience? What kind of genres do you think there are? What kind 

of themes will we discuss? How much time do you think you'll

have to invest?

Discuss / write down a couple of sentences.

Planning ahead in P4

• 11 weeks (without the May break, BUT, loads of holidays (Whit Monday, Easter, Ascension Day, Good Friday, etc.)). 
• 1 / 2 lessons book, 1 lesson wasp, 1 lesson essay writing. 
• Keep track of the Studyguide, but also, regularly check Magister and/or Teams for homework / assignments.

Planning ahead in P4

• It's not always possible to read in class, you will be expected to do most of this at home! Today, we will kind of look into this. 
• You are expected to bring with you: (copy of) book Life of Pi / Power & the Glory + notebook!!! You are always required to take notes / keep track of assignments in your notebook. To ensure that you don't lose/forget/lose track of this, you will hand in a notebook specifically for this task with your teacher NEXT lesson. Your notebook stays at school. 
• Life of Pi: if you choose this book, you need to get a plastic folder.
