Proverbs, The Hero's Journey, and Thanksgiving Break!

Last week we read through Proverbs, translating them into modern day stories.  These we shared and compared with traditional English proverbs, learning a number of new idioms through a crossword hunt.  We also charted the hero's journey through characters in the Old Testament as well as a favorite movie, sharing our notes on Mulan.  


Learning about Joseph Campbell's lifelong study of myths, archetypes, and story patterns, we charted our own personal journeys, recognizing we are all heroes of our own personal journey.  We will pick up from there after our Thanksgiving break.

I hope everyone has a happy and restful Thanksgiving holiday.
