Today, we started off watching the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny and I asked each one of you to ponder a specific questions as we watched:
- Who are the epic people featured in the video?
- What are the “valorous deeds” that have been accomplished?
- What are some examples of the supernatural?
If you weren’t here for this, you can do this in Blackboard. I may have to play the video for you if you can’t get to You Tube on your phone.
We then took notes over what an epic is and specifically, what an Epic HERO is. We spent a lot of time talking about the VALUES of an EPIC HERO.
We then worked on the Epic Dude. Using our notes, find an epic hero and fill out the template. If you need to see examples, I have some in class that you can see. 
Sentence 1: Describe the person.
Sentence 2: What was/is his/her quest? What was the overarching goal?
Sentence 3: What are the brave events that he/she did? These are the things that helps the hero reach the quest.
Sentence 4: Who does he/she get help from?
Sentence 5: What was the setting that all of this occurred in? What’s the history?
I want you to use a REAL PERSON for this – not a character from television or movies. If you need help finding a person, search for heroes in history. I found loads of web pages with lists of people.
