Agenda

1. Hero's Journey
2. House Discussion Chapter 2
3. Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets - Ch 3

Activity #1

The Hero's Journey

• We will read through each stage of the Hero's Journey aloud to get a better understanding of what occurs during each of the stages. Throughout the entire story we will be analyzing Harry to see if he fits this pattern.
• As we read, we will be color coding to match the Hero's Journey diagram from yesterday.

Activity #2

Chapter 2 House Discussion

Questions:

• What happened in chapter 2?
• Which information was the most important?
• Which note taking strategy did you use?
• What did you like about that note taking strategy? What did you dislike about it?
• What stage(s) of the Hero's Journey do you think Harry is in?

Activity #3

Read-A-Loud Ch. 3

The Burrow

As we read today we will be comparing two different settings.

1. The Dursley's

2. The Weasley's

Questions to think about:

• What is similar about the two settings?
• What is different about the two settings?
• How are Harry's emotions, and feelings about the settings different/similar?
