This character is a larger-than-life figure, typically of noble or semi-divine birth, who pits his courage, skill, and virtueagainst opposing, often evil forces.” • In the early English epic Beowulf, for example, the hero Beowulf is a young warrior of high standing who battles a brutal and bloodthirsty monster.” • Characteristics of an epic hero tell us a lot about what the culture values. • Epic heroes are superhuman. ~ Create an Epic Hero Collage • Use Powerpoint or Glogster • Include: • Characteristics such as honesty, courage, etc • Strengths • Weaknesses • Upload to Moodle

  3. Quest • Definition: “A quest is a long, dangerous journey or mission undertaken by the epic hero. The quest is the hero’s opportunity to prove his heroism and win honor and underlying renown. • Harry Potter looking for Horcruxes, Odysseus trying to return home, Link saving Zelda, Mario saving Peach.

  4. Example EQ Response from Block 1 • “If I could obtain any super power, I would have Spiderman's super powers. It looks the most fun out of them all when he is shooting his web across the city flying through town. Every morning I would not go for a quick run, but a quick fly. This would mollify me so that I do not have so much energy through out the rest of the day.”

  5. Block 1 Continued “If I was able to have one super power I would want the power to stop time. I would want this power because their is not enough time in a day. If I had the power to stop time I would use it all the time. I would stop time to sleep, do homework, etc... I think this power will help mollify my attitude.”

  6. Example EQ Response from Block 4 “If I could have any superpower I would like to have the power to fly because you will not have to worry about getting your driver's license or worry about getting late to a date or even your job. If I get in a bad mood then I can mollify myself by flying to places I have never gone before. The wind in your face would feel pretty awesome and you would not want to ever stop flying.”
