The Assignment


While you finish up watching the video and reading the outline of the Hero Cycle on the linked web page, I thought we could spend today discussing your final project. This is an open ended project without a lot of constraints for you. My goal is to hopefully spark your creativity and allow you to pursue an idea in any way you see fit. I've had students write poetry, create music,and even fashion My Space pages for deities such as Zeus. There is always the option of writing a longer research paper but I'd prefer you settled on something a bit more interesting. You may want to ask yourself how your interests intersect with the Hero Journey. What am I good at and how can I express this? I don't expect perfection today, but I would like you to share some ideas you might have in your blog posting today. Please try and have a final idea to me this weekend. We only have one more week before the course is over and that doesn't give you a ton of time to complete your project. I look forward to reading your ideas. Stay cool.
