In this self-paced class, students will learn about the different hero archetypes throughout the history of literature. The hero archetypes that will be covered in this unit are: A Hero's Journey story structure, Epic Heroes, Classical Heroes, Tragic Heroes, Superheroes, Antiheroes, Unwilling Heroes, and Everyman Heroes. 

Students will look at film clips, watch hero films, and read excerpts from possible texts: Jane Eyre, Rikki-tikki-tavi, King Arthur, Beowulf, Oedipus, Romeo and Juliet, and The Hobbit. The unit will conclude with students completing several mini-projects (creative to critical) to showcase their knowledge. Various lessons on writing techniques, grammar, and vocabulary will be including in the unit. 

Choice Book - Students will also pick a fiction or creative nonfiction text (a list of possible titles will be provided) to read on their own throughout the course which will conclude with a book report. 

This class can be used as a core English/Literature/Language Arts/ELA course for 10th or 11th grade (US standards). This Hero Unit course is a part of my English 2: World Literature and Composition Semester B course. 

There are NO live meetings for this course. Multiple posts will be made to the classroom each week which will include: video lessons on the text and language arts/grammar lessons, reading questions for the reading that need to be responded to, homework which will include the reading and worksheet/writing/creative project assignment, and question/answer posts regarding language arts, vocabulary, and grammar. 

This class is unit 1 of 4 units in my English 2: World Literature and Composition Semester B self-paced class.
