ENGL 045: Tenth-Grade English, Part 1 – Expand
$175.00
In English 10, Part 1, students will explore the course theme of I Need a Hero. The course is divided into three units of instruction:
- Unit 1 includes modules 1–5. In this unit, students will examine archetypes—a hero, an antihero, a villain, and a trickster—and they will learn how these characters play important roles in telling a story. The character traits of a hero will be examined and compared to the other archetypes.
- Unit 2, which includes modules 6–10, will focus on heroes in literature. Students will choose an anchor text from a list of novels, based on their interest. Within each novel, students will analyze the characters and heroes in their chosen story and assess whether or not the novel’s hero demonstrates heroic character traits. Students will also analyze the hero’s journey the character takes in the novel.
- Unit 3, which includes modules 11–15, students will apply the principles and concepts of a hero’s journey to their own life. This unit will allow students to examine the courageous events of their lives and write about their journeys. Module 16 is the module where students will submit their final paper and take the final exam.
