Week 4
We started with an archetypes activity were I set out a bunch of pictures of people in popular movies that have certain archetypes that I wanted to discuss. They kids then organized them in archetype groups; ordinary man/hero, mentor, comic relief/trickster, sidekick/helper, warrior, bully, villian, shapeshifter, maiden/damsel in distress, etc...
They learned that many supporting characters qualified to go in different archetype groups. We sorted characters from Wizard of Oz, Star Wars, Princess Bride, Moana, Harry Potter, Lego Movie, Cars, Lion King and The Lord of the Rings (even though they weren’t familiar with the movie, they were familiar enough with the characters.
We then discussed The Book of Three, but didn’t have a lot of time to really get into it.
Week 5
Last week we took a trip to the Skookum Archery Range. The Chronicles of Prydain has a lot of archery, so it was a fun activity to do. Sadly, most of the time was taken up by driving, but they got some good experience and had fun.
We will discuss the Black Cauldron on Oct 25, ( a week from Thursday) so please allow them the opportunity to finish this second book!
