Week 7- Hero Journey in The Horse and His Boy

This week in class, we discussed the hero journey of Shasta in The Horse and His Boy.  I had word searches, mazes and crosswords for them to work on while we talked about random things in the book that we hadn't covered yet.

In the spirit of the Calormans and their story telling art, we ended class by watching an animated video of some of the 1001 Arabian Nights and explained the story of Scheherazade.

I got my days mixed up- THIS THURSDAY IS THE HORSE BACK RIDING FIELD TRIP, not the 24th.  I will look for you at lunch and get your signature for the field trip form and collect $3 for toll and gas. We will be back at the church at 3:40.

IN CASE OF RAIN we will be discussing The Magicians Nephew.  Everyone in the class said that they could have it read by this week in case we needed to have this as a back up.  The planet Lewis used for this book is Venus.  Look for themes of creativity, fruitfulness and love.

Please email me with any questions.
