Please note: Speaker notes DO NOT APPEAR ON SLIDES. The slides are used for images and only two or three lines of text. The “real work” gets done in the white area beneath each slide, where speaker notes appear. 4-5 good-sized sentences should be offered for each set of speaker notes.
Be sure to view the student sample that appears in Week 4 CONTENT.
You are once again volunteering at your local library. The visiting group of seventh graders are returning for a presentation on heroes, myths, and modern society. You want the students to relate to how mythology influences contemporary characters they are familiar with today.
Demonstrate how effectively you can identify mythological archetypes in contemporary culture.
Select a contemporary story in the form of a novel, movie, or video game that is inspired by a mythological epic or hero’s quest.
Create a Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation with detailed speaker notes of about the contemporary hero’s or heroine’s quest geared to an audience of seventh graders.
