Myth project, 16-20 September, Heroic archetypes

Each of the seven groups will present on their assigned archetype on Friday, 20 September.

A good presentation will include three critical elements:
  1. A summary of general information about the archetype
    • From Vogler
    • Other sources
  2. Examples (both in popular culture and mythology)
    • As supporting cast in another hero's journey
    • As the hero themselves
    • As both a mortal or a deity
  3. Citation--EVERYTHING!!!
    • Citations should appear either in the presentation itself or as a separate bibliography
Remember, you can cite sources, images, etc the hard way or the easy way; the easy way means going to CitationMachine.net and inputting the information it asks for.  The example below is the source for the handouts in class today:

Vogler, Christopher. The Writer's Journey: Mythic structure for writers. 3rd ed. Studio City, CA: Michael Weise Productions, 2007.
