As your final blog post, you will be focusing on the final stage of the hero's journey: RETURN WITH THE ELIXIR.
Once the hero's journey is complete, they return to their Ordinary World with the elixir, a great treasure or a new understanding to share. The elixir can be love, wisdom, freedom, knowledge. It doesn't have to be a tangible prize. Unless something is brought back from the ordeal, an elixir, the hero is doomed to repeat the adventure. At this stage of the journey, a circle has been closed, bringing change to the ordinary world. Returning with the elixir means the hero can now implement change in his daily life and use the lessons of the adventure to move forward and grow as a person.
Next year, you will be moving to grade 10. The skills and knowledge you have gained in grade 9 will serve you well as you begin to transform into grade 10 students and move on into a new and challenging special world, leaving the ordinary world of grade 9 behind.
Today you have the opportunity to identify some of your strengths, weaknesses and next steps in the reading, writing and media strands, by looking at what you have gained from your work on the independent reading blog.
Using the INDEPENDENT READING BLOG FINAL EVALUATION you have been given, go through your blog as it is TODAY, and reflect upon your process.
Hand this self evaluation in on MONDAY, JANUARY 19 at the start of class.
