World Lit: Introducing Gilgamesh

August 7, 2018 / / No comments

Standards:

  • ELAGSE9-10RL7 Analyze the representation of a subject or a key scene in two different artistic mediums (e.g., Auden’s poem “Musée de Beaux Arts” and Breughel’s painting Landscape with the Fall of Icarus), including what is emphasized or absent in each treatment.
  • ELAGSE9-10W2 Write informative/explanatory texts to examine and convey complex ideas, concepts, and information clearly and accurately through the effective selection, organization, and analysis of content.

Objective: Students will learn about The pic of Gilgamesh and the culture from which it came, as well as consider their own cultural perspectives and how it relates to their fears.

Opening Session: Let’s review the Hero’s Journey chart we went over yesterday. We will choose another movie together as a class (something most of us have seen!) and see how it fits on the chart!

Work Session: After we review the hero’s journey, let’s look at the first story that ever followed the monomyth trope. eah, that makes it basically the oldest story in the world. It’s called The pic of Gilgamesh, and it comes to us from Ancient Sumeria. It’s a pretty important story, and you may even have discussed it in your World History classes.

I have a another PowerPoint that talks about the story, its origins, and its importance:

gilgamesh power point

And after we go over the PowerPoint, let’s watch this video. This should give you some idea of the cultural significance of the story!

Closing Session: Now that we’ve discussed the cultural perspective of Ancient Sumeria and how the story of Gilgamesh written about overcoming the fear of death, I want you to go back to the paragraphs you wrote yesterday about what you’re afraid of. Consider your own cultural perspective – as a teenager, a student, or even an ethnic or religious background, and write me another paragraph. o you think your cultural perspective influenced what you’re afraid of? Why or why not?

Assessment Strategies: Formative (paragraph checks, discussion participation)

Differentiation: Process (Scaffolding, high-interest topics, learning styles)

  • ELAGSE9-10W2 Write informative/explanatory texts to examine and convey complex ideas, concepts, and information clearly and accurately through the effective selection, organization, and analysis of content.

Objective: Students will be able to synthesize the concept of the hero’s journey with the everyday world around them and understand how authors use the hero’s journey as a trope in world literature.

Opening Session: After Independent Reading, I would like everyone to write a short paragraph describing something that you fear. Be specific in what you’re afraid of, and explain why it scares you.

Work Session: After we consider what we’re afraid of and why, and maybe have a couple of people share their paragraphs, we’re going to talk about a concept called the Hero’s Journey. Let’s start with a video!

After our video, let’s get more specific about what the hero’s journey entails. I have a PowerPoint that’ll go over the details of the journey:

Closing Session: Let’s close the day by looking at some famous examples of the Hero’s Journey – how about some movies? We will make a hero’s journey chart together for the movies Finding Nemo, Moana, and The Lion King.
