Mix – Myth Tradition Hero’s Journey Film Study Worksheet
Movie: The Wizard of Oz Oct 6 – Oct 10, 2014

OBJECTIVE:  “Students will describe the stages and archetypes of the Hero’s Journey in a story in which the heroine attains personal growth while on her quest. In addition, by completing one or more of the suggested assignments students will employ and perfect the writing skills required by BLA’s curriculum.”

IN CLASS – Mon Oct 6 through Thurs Oct 9 (AS WE WATCH THE MOVIE)

WRITE NOTES for the movie relating to the topics below in your notebook (right-hand side).

For any skipped stages, simply state that the stage is not contained in the quest shown in the film. Some stories of the Hero’s Journey appear to combine some of the stages. When that happens write one paragraph and indicate the stages to which it applies. An abbreviated set of stages of the Hero’s Journey are briefly described below:

SECTION ONE — Introduction to Setting, Characters & Conflict

1. The Ordinary World
2. The Call to Adventure;
3. Refusing the Call;
4. Supernatural Aid / Meeting with the Mentor: and
5. Crossing the First Threshold.

SECTION TWO — Action, Climax, Triumph
6. Road of Trials;
7. Belly of the Whale / Approach to the Inmost Cave;
8. Ultimate Confrontation
9. Ultimate Boon / Reward.

SECTION THREE — Resolution and Denouement

10. The Road Back (Refusal of Return, Magic Flight);
11. , Crossing the Return Threshold and/or Rescue from Without
12. Master of Two Worlds and/or Freedom to Live.

AT HOME – Mon Oct 6 through Thurs Oct 9:

TOUCH UP your notes.

WRITE one properly constructed paragraph for any elements of the Hero’s Journey encountered in the movie so far. The paragraph must be free standing and which explains the reasons for the answer for each topic. You must cite evidence from the story to support its conclusion.

IN CLASS – Fri Oct 10

Be sure to bring your notes for an in-class essay.

Part A:

Erant ôlim in Thessaliâ duô frâtrês,

There were once two brothers in Thessaly,

quôrum alter Aesôn, alter Peliâs appellâbâtur.

of which one was called Aeson, the other (was) Pelias.

Aesôn prîmô rêgnum obtinuerat;

Aeson at first had held the power;

at post paucôs annôs Peliâs rêgnî cupiditâte adductus nôn modo frâtrem suum expulit,

but after a few years Pelias, influenced by a desire for power, not only drove out his brother,

sed etiam in animô habêbat Iâsonem, Aesonis fîlium, interficere.

but also decided to kill Jason, the son of Aeson.

Part B:

Quîdam tamen amicî Aesonis puerum ê tantô perîculô êripere cônstituêrunt.

However/neverthelss certain friends of Aeson decided/established to save the boy from such great danger.

Noctû igitur Iâsonem ex urbe abstulêrunt,

At night therefore they carried Jason out of the city,

et cum posterô diê ad rêgem rediissent

and when they had returned to the king (on) the next day

eî renûntiâvêrunt puerum mortuum esse

they reported to him that the boy was dead.
