  1. Do Now: What is a hero? Create a definition of “hero”. Make a list of all the traits a hero must have. What makes a hero different from everyone else? Give an example of a hero.

  2. Class Definition of Hero: • Some being who lives their life choosing to act bravely, risking their life & putting the needs of others first in order to make the world a better place

  3. Heroic Traits: • Brave • Integrity • Character • Role model • Hardworking • Selfless

  4. Joseph Campbell’s Hero Archetype: • Joseph Campbell: modern philosopher famous for work on legends and myths • Archetype: A character, situation, or symbol that is familiar to people from all cultures because it occurs frequently in literature, myth, religion, or folklore.

  5. Here are some of the traits Campbell says all heroes exhibit: • Unusual circumstances of birth; sometimes in danger or born into royalty • Leaves family or landand lives with others • An event, sometimes traumatic, leads to adventure or quest

  6. Here are some of the traits Campbell says all heroes exhibit: • Hero has a special WEAPONonly he/she can use • Hero always has SUPERNATURALhelp • The Hero must prove himself/herself MANY times while on adventure • When the hero DIES, he is rewarded SPIRITUALLY

  7. Hero’s Journey Now, let’s take a look at how Campbell explains the hero on his/her journey:

  13. Freak the Mighty/Star Wars: Major Assessment What makes a hero? Now that you have tracked two very different heroic journeys (Luke Skywalker & Maxwell Kane), write a well-developed essay in which you determine the three most significant criteria that make a hero. Use evidence from both Star Wars and Freak the Mighty to support your claims. STEP 1: Assess the assignment Think about Joseph Campbell’s and our class’ definitions of a hero and what qualities or traits put someone in that category. Be sure you fully understand discussing these topics. STEP 2:Determine the 3 Most Significant Criteria that Make a Hero Make a list of the top 3 traits/criteria a hero must have. Be sure both Skywalker & Max exhibit all three. TIP: Be sure each trait is significantly different from the other 2 chosen. For example, do NOT choose both “brave” and “courageous,” as they are too close in meaning.

  14. Introduction: Paragraph 1 • Claim (restate the question/prompt): What makes a hero? • Evidence (x3): Present three heroic traits/criteria • (DO NOT ELABORATE with examples/quotes) • Introduce Luke Skywalker & Maxwell Kane as both heroes AND evidence of the criteria you just stated (without using specific examples)

  15. Body Paragraphs: Paragraphs 2-4 • Claim (present first trait/criterion): Explain what that trait/criterion means without discussing the characters • Evidence (show how Max exemplifies this trait/criterion with specific example) • Explain how this example proves Max exhibits the trait/criterion • Evidence: (show how Luke exemplifies this trait/criterion with specific example) • Explain how this example proves Luke exhibits the trait/criterion • Reasoning/Realization: How can you reason that all heroes must exhibit this trait or criterion? What does this information make you realize about heroes/Max & Luke?

  16. Conclusion: Paragraph 5 • Claim (restate your overall claim AKA whether Max is a true hero or not) • Evidence (x3): Summarize body paragraphs • Reasoning/realization: Explain what the evidence showed or proved to you.

  17. TIPS: • DO NOT use 1stperson: “I think” “In my opinion” “I believe” • Underline titles of long works (novels/movies); chapter titles get quotes • Indent for each new paragraph • Capitalize all proper nouns (specific people/places/things) • Check for homophone errors • Explain all pieces of evidence and how they support your claim • Use transitions between ideas/paragraphs
