Course Description May the force be with you! The preceding wish is more than just a catchy phrase from the 1970's. Luke Skywalker in The Star Wars Trilogy is one example of a memorable hero. Did you know Star Wars is deeply rooted in traditional literature? In this course students will explore the formula embedded in the hero's adventure: separation, initiation, and return. We will read a variety of literature from fairy tales to Anglo-Saxon epics to mythology, and we will view a few films. Students will compare and contrast the literature from various time periods and cultures and share their ideas with their classmates. Students will be encouraged to apply their insights to their own lives and communities, to search for modern-day heroes, and to report back to the group. Finally, students will write hero stories and share their adventures. Delivery Method Course Materials Virtual High School will have course materials, if any, shipped directly to students. While there is no additional cost for course materials, there is an additional charge for shipping. Students are required to return such course materials to course instructor upon completion of the course. |
