Portfolio; Journal; A Wizard of Earthsea

Today, please work on your portfolio or journal or reading and completing A Wizard of Earthsea. If you completed your writing notes on the book, please turn this in for participation credit. There will be a quiz on the book next class. You should know major characters, major plot events, consider the metaphorical meaning of true names and the shadow, know the setting and important places in Earthsea, and be able to discuss how Ged's journey is a hero's journey and what plot archetypes are found within the book with examples: the quest, the adventure, the pursuit/chase, the escape, the romance, the coming-of-age, the transformation, or the metamorphosis archetypes...

Use your notes to study for the test.
