Class: Wednesday/Thursday, November 16th and 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 your 12 archetypes (What, how, why)

• Explain the "what": Explain each archetype type (the general purpose) 
• Explain the "how": Show how your answer is true with specific examples from the two texts. 
• Explain the "why": . 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 
Monday, November 21st
