The unit plan begins by covering and studying basic elements of the quest narrative model, and culminates with the students writing a personal narrative piece in the model of a quest narrative. In the middle of the unit, we have left the day-to-day lesson planning very open- ended. Since this unit does not contain a central text, it is up to the discretion of the instructor to choose a text (or texts) that can be used with this unit plan. The text(s) that you choose will depend on a couple of factors: how long you want to spend on this unit, and what texts you want your students to read.

  • Villains, Victims, and Heroes in Character Theory and Affect Control
    Social Psychology Quarterly 00(0) 1–20 Villains, Victims, and Heroes Ó American Sociological Association 2018 DOI: 10.1177/0190272518781050 in Character Theory and journals.sagepub.com/home/spq Affect Control Theory Kelly Bergstrand1 and James M. Jasper2 Abstract We examine three basic tropes—villain, victim, and hero—that emerge in images, claims, and narratives. We compare recent research on characters with the predictions of an established tradition, affect control theory (ACT). Combined, the theories describe core traits of the vil- lain-victim-hero triad and predict audiences’ reactions. Character theory (CT) can help us understand the cultural roots of evaluation, potency, and activity profiles and the robustness of profile ratings. It also provides nuanced information regarding multiplicity in, and sub- types of, characters and how characters work together to define roles. Character types can be strategically deployed in political realms, potentially guiding strategies, goals, and group dynamics. ACT predictions hold up well, but CT suggests several paths for extension and elaboration. In many cases, cultural research and social psychology work on parallel tracks, with little cross-talk. They have much to learn from each other. Keywords affect control theory, character theory, heroes, victims, villains On October 9, 2012, 15-year-old Malala including one attack in December 2014 Yousafzai went to school, despite the Tali- that killed 132 schoolchildren and another ban’s intense campaign to stop female in January 2016 where 22 people were education in her region of Pakistan and gunned down at a university.

  • Botticelli: Heroines + Heroes on View: February 14, 2019 – May 19, 2019
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Botticelli: Heroines + Heroes On View: February 14, 2019 – May 19, 2019 Sandro Botticelli (Italian, 1444 or 1445-1510), The Tragedy of Lucretia, 1499-1500. Tempera and oil on panel, 83.8 x 176.8 cm (33 x 69 5/8 in.) Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston (P16e20) BOSTON, MA (October 2018) – For the forthcoming Botticelli: Heroines + Heroes exhibition in early 2019, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum will be the sole venue in the United States to reunite Renaissance master Sandro Botticelli’s The Story of Lucretia from the Gardner Museum collection with the painter’s Story of Virginia, on loan from Italy for the first time. This presentation explores Botticelli’s revolutionary narrative paintings and brings them into dialogue with contemporary responses. The exhibition opens Feb. 14, 2019 and runs through May 19, 2019. Painted around 1500, eight monumental works – including important loans from museums in Europe and the U.S. - demonstrate Botticelli’s extraordinary talent as a master storyteller. He reinvented ancient Roman and early Christian heroines and heroes as role models, transforming their stories of lust, betrayal, and violence into parables for a new era of political and religious turmoil. Considered one of the most renowned artists of the Renaissance, Botticelli (about 1445-1510) was sought after by popes, princes, and prelates for paintings to decorate Italian churches. His Medici-era madonnas elevated Botticelli to a household name in Gilded Age Boston. Yet the painter achieved iconic status through his secular paintings for domestic interiors – like the Primavera. All of the works in the Gardner’s exhibition originally filled the palaces of Florence, adorning patrician bedrooms with sophisticated modern spins on ancient tales.

  • Don Edwings Almost Super Heroes Pdf, Epub, Ebook
    DON EDWINGS ALMOST SUPER HEROES PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Don Edwing | 192 pages | 01 Mar 1988 | Warner Books (NY) | 9780446350709 | English | United States Don Edwings Almost Super Heroes PDF Book It is now stronger than ever: The Fifth Edition of Readings in Ancient Greek Philosophy features a completely revised Aristotle unit, with new translations, as well as a newly revised glossary. So here is my addition. In fact, I had corrected other misspellings of Black Lightning and missed those other few. For every superhero, there's a supervillain, and the best ones are usually the loyal ally who turns out to be playing a double-game. Here, our hero is frequently outwitted by his malevolent rivals, the Rogues, despite his supposedly superior brainpower. Interesting plot with plenty of intrigue and action. In short, the Falcon is a hero among heroes. Almost Super 2. Great list, but I find myself enjoying the also ran characters mentioned in the comments section. See comments. Also, if you really want to read a superhero book or know a young middle grader who likes them and could do with some good lessons on friendships and family —then by all means point them toward the first book, Almost Super. With the exception of Spider-Man, almost all of Lee's household-name heroes were drawn by a fellow called Jack Kirby, who never enjoyed the star cameos Stan did in the Marvel movies. TopTenz Master on January 11, pm. Trivia About Searching for Sup Though Luthor later went back to his villainous roots — way, way back — founding a version of the Legion of Doom, he'll return to the Justice League as a hero once more in the upcoming 'Doom Metal' arc of Justice League , which ties into the current Dark Nights: Death Metal limited series.
