Each "Hero" is on a journey of his own. <span style="font-weight: bold;">In one paragraph, please summarize the journey so far.</span> Begin by briefly describing your Hero, then give the summary of the story with some specific references from the story to help discuss his journey.<br />Some things to think about and <span style="font-weight: bold;">include</span> in your writing:<br /><ul><li>Begin by introducing your character </li><li>Does this Hero have a "quest"? Is he trying to reach a goal?</li><li>What obstacles has he encountered so far on this journey?</li></ul>Blog rubric will be discussed prior to writing and is posted on moodle under the Writing section.
