Deconstructing Walcott - LINK


Song of Solomon Pt. 2

Hero's Journey:

As you begin Chapter 10 and Pt. 2, please start a TREASURE HUNT map that logs Milkman's search for GOLD.  With each stop make note of where he is, who he visits, and what he learns.


Additionally, as he meets people add any important characters/people to your family trees.


Similarly, as this has been likened to the Hero's Journey 1) watch the Ted Video Hero's Journey and read the handout Hero's Journey Handout and then 3) keep note of how his journey does and does not fit the Archetypal Monomyth


Chapter Readings and Prompts:

Try to stick with the reading calendar as best you can. 

All chapter Readings, questions, and passages may be found in the DRIVE: READINGS and Questions
