Class today: November 16th/17th

1. Coming to class today, you should have your archetype notes on Lord of the Ring and Gilgamesh. You will be constructing a presentation in Google Slides addressing the following question:

How do archetypes provide a reader more insight/meaning to a text?

2. To do this you will need to utilize your notes and the examples you have discovered in the two texts. Your slides will need to address the following:

• Title slide with academic/MLA formatted title
• Introduction explaining the definition of archetypes.
• What is your answer to the above question- Write as a thesis statement

The bulk of your presentation will be the explanation of the 15 individual archetypes

• The "what": Each archetype you have found needs to be explained in its general purpose...
• The "how": Show how your answer is true by providing specific evidence in both texts that shows the presence of this specific archetype.
• The "why": Then provide an explanation of how this archetype provides a reader with more insight into the text (supporting your literary argument). 

• Reflection upon this experience. What did you learn? How did archetypes frame your understanding of the texts.. people... situations.. life differently? 
• Images that promote your archetypes... characters... situations.... symbols
• Textual evidence that is cited correctly.  (Parenthetical citation)
• Works cited slide (last slide) 

How you break down your slides will be somewhat up to you. You may group by "types" of archetypes and dedicate a slide per example... include both texts.  Obviously, title, intro, thesis... will be in the beginning... Works cited at the end.

3. Presentations will be uploaded to Google Classroom by the end of class on 
Friday, November 18th.
