  1. December 10 – All the Pretty Horses Agenda: • Quick-write • MonomythChart • Project Introduction & Brainstorm Take out: • “Applying the Monomyth” sheet • Pen/pencil • Notebook • APH Homework: • Finish reading the book for Friday • Complete the final journal entries • Come to class prepared to work on your project

  2. Quick-write Read and respond to the following quotation: “If people knew the story of their lives how many would then elect to live them? People speak about what is in store. But there is nothing in store. The day is made of what has come before. The world itself must be surprised at the shape of that which appears. Perhaps even God.” – Cormac McCarthy

  3. Applying the Monomyth • Work together to complete as much of the sheet as you can (given how far you’ve read) • You may want to revise what you have already written • Make sure to write in evidence and page numbers

  4. APH Project • Simplified Project Prompt: How does Cormac McCarthy’s book All the Pretty Horses reflect the 17-step hero’s journey explained by Joseph Campbell? • Your assignment is to create some kind of game, which relates the content of the book to Campbell’s hero’s journey, using quotations from the book, visuals (that you find or create) and – of course – explanations of your evidence. • How your information is presented, and what kind of game that you choose to create, is up to you. • I expect you to tap into your creativity for this one (points will be awarded for creativity and effort, as well as information and analysis)

  5. Project Requirements • Content Requirements: • All 17 steps of the monomyth must be represented in the project • You must have AT LEAST 20 cited quotations from the text • You must have AT LEAST 20 paragraphs (one for each quotation) explaining how each quotation relates to a stage of the monomyth • Group Requirements: • All group members must participate in the creation, explanation, and presentation of the project • The project must be represented as some sort of game (choose from ideas below, or create your own) • You must have a visual portion of the project, with at least one visual for each stage of the monomyth • You must present the finished product to the class
