In this term of Stories, we have been learning about the stages of a hero's journey. We dove into what a hero's journey means and their effects they have onto a story. The hero's journey is also called a "monomyth." There are seventeen stages of a hero's journey that each character or each person goes through, throughout their adventure. Each stage is an important key to the adventure to continue onto the story and to add to it. The stages can be represented as a step farther into the journey, and as it continues, you can see the "hero" growing into someone different or into someone who has more experience in a certain topic. For this action project, I had to choose a fictional "hero" and a real-life "hero." For the real-life "hero", we had to conduct an interview and ask them about their hero's journey from whatever experience they have had. For my fictional character, I chose Carl Fredrickson from the movie Up. T...

In this unit of stories, we have been talking about fables. In class, we have been talking about Aesop fable and Panchatantra fables. While reading these two different types of fables we were looking at the characteristics of the fables; such as personification, symbolism, and character development. We were discussing what exactly makes up a story, how do you develop a character, and how can we use a story to teach a lesson. For the action project, for this unit, we had to create our own fable. Over this unit, I have learned about the importance of them and how different they can be depending on where they come from and cultural traditions some people have that incorporate that into the fables.  I decided to make my fable about working hard and not letting anything get in the way the reason I chose this value is because I believe that if someone works hard enough they are capable of anything.

Welcome to my first action project for Stories. In class we have been talking about creation stories and how they might affect us and how they were created back long ago. For this action project we were able to create our own creation story. For our creation story we had to write the origin of the beginning of something and how it was created. In class we even had an actual story telling come to our school to talk to us about how he creates his stories and he helped us greatly by giving us techniques we could use for our story. When conducting my story it was actually pretty easy to start off with a foundation of where and what my story will start. But when writing my story it was challenging for me to have transitions from one topic to another so my story will run smoothly. SR.InisdeMoruba.2018
