English Essentials 2 Writing Warmup: The Hobbit and the Hero's Cycle

Bell Ringer Activity:
In yesterday's class, we finished Chapter 4 of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit and discussed the similarities and differences between the book and the movie.  One of the best ways to understand how the movie makes changes to the original is to look at something known as the "Hero's Journey" (or, "cycle").

For today, complete the EdPuzzle on The Hero's Journey by going to this link.  Dr. B will walk you through the instructions.  You want to watch the video, answer the questions, and demonstrate your comprehension skills.

Learning Targets being assessed:

RL7, "I can analyze multiple interpretations of the same story, evaluating how each version interprets the same source."
