EARL HAIG SECONDARY SCHOOL



Summative Assessment 2013

ENG2D1

This year, we have been discussing the concept of the hero. We began with Joseph Campbell’s “hero cycle” as a framework for all of the stories we have encountered throughout the year. From Herakles, Icarus, Phaeton, Xavier and Elijah, to the fallen heroes in Romeo and Juliet. Now let us reflect on the concept of the hero and Joseph Campbell’s theory.

PART ONE: Hero Cycle Graphic Story (60 Marks)

You will create a story in graphic novel style (using Bitstrips or Comic Life) where the main character goes through the stages of the Hero Cycle. Demonstrate your understanding narrative structure and the stages of the hero cycle by incorporating them into your own innovative story. With images and some text, tell the hero’s story in an effective and creative way. This will count in the media strand.

PART TWO: Oral Reflection (60 Marks)

You will be asked to relate and reflect on the theme of the hero by creating an audio podcast with your reactions to ONE of the following quotations. Think of this as an oral essay. Use evidence from the literature studied, and your own experience. This will count towards the oral strand.

We have supped full with heroes, they waste their deaths on us. (C. D. Andrews)

1. My heroes are the ones who survived doing it wrong, who made mistakes, but recovered from them. (Bono)

2. The real hero is always a hero by mistake; he dreams of being an honest coward like everybody else. (Umberto Eco)

3. Heroes are created by popular demand, sometimes out of the scantiest materials. (Gerald W. Johnson)

4. The opportunities for heroism are limited in this kind of world: the most people can do is sometimes not to be as weak as they've been at other times. (Angus Wilson)
