Purpose: To practice and understand the ways in which an individual story has its origins in earlier stories, either in plot, genres, archetypes, or other similarities and to practice following a character through the heros journey. Finally reflect briefly on what you have learned from this module focused on the idea and value of story.

Assignment: This assignment has three parts: two drawings and a short reflection.  You may choose to use one of the free digital drawing tools available such as –a google drive add-on–Adobe Illustrator from your student access to Adobe Creative Cloud, or another software with which you may be familiar. Or, you may choose to simply draw the assignment with paper and pencil/markers, and upload your drawing to the assignment page.

Instructions:   Choose a favorite story– movie, novel, TV show, cartoon, family legend–your choice. Then

a) Place the different elements of the story youve chosen into your drawing of either a pot of soup [The Caldron of your story] with ingredients already simmering plus those added by the maker(s) of your story, or of a tree [The Tree of your Tale] with roots, a trunk, and branches/leaves that tell the origins, additions, and new branches/leaves that arise from the story you choose.  Keep in mind the similar origins of the story/film, such as perhaps the Norse mythological origins of The Avengers, the crime fiction tropes and archetypes present in the recent film, Knives Out, or perhaps the way a recent story rethinks gender roles, for example 

b) On the second page, place a character from the story you chose into the Heros journey, following the cycle suggested in the Heros Journey diagram.

c) Write a short 100-200 word reflection about what you learned from this assignment.
