Short Stories Through a Critical Lens Tuesday Standard 3. Writing & Composition 2. Ideas, evidence, structure, and style create persuasive, academic, and technical texts for particular audiences and specific purposes Objective: you will be able to identify expected structure and components of the micro-theme/short constructed response. Relevance: By interpreting complex texts, providing evidence, and communicating ideas, we are not only practicing the skills need in any workplace or postsecondary setting, but also we are examining aspects of ourselves and others and how these as well as social and historical events impact the way in which we communicate. By learning to examine situations from different perspectives, we open ourselves to recognizing, understanding, explaining, and judging the ways in which we, as well as others, conduct ourselves, in order to more productively function in an every changing world. Inquiry Question(s) What are five types of critical lenses? How are they defined? How do readers utilize critical lenses to create different interpretations of the writer’s craft? What archetypes exist in this text, and how do they work to create a broader purpose?

Instruction: Review The movie Shrek is an animated movie about a green ogre, Shrek, whose wood-land home becomes a refugee camp of displaced fairy-tale beings; it is a prime example of a journey quest that uses archetypal colors and characters. These archetypes respond to our need to see that all beings can persevere. A quest journey is a common narrative pattern where the hero is looking for something or someone that, when brought back, will restore order or well-being. In order to regain his swamp, Shrek travels along with an annoying donkey in order to bring Princess Fiona to a scheming lord, who wishes himself King. This task will restore his life, his wood-land home, to its previous tranquility. As humans, in an ever-changing world, we seek balance in life, and Shrek’s journey reflects this need. Another archetype found in Shrek is symbolic color. Over time, particular colors have been associated with certain types of characters or emotions or ideas. In this case, the colors help the viewer identify character type. For example, Fiona is often shown wearing green and sometimes blue. The color green typically symbolizes “fertility, renewal and wealth” and blue is “nobility” and/or “tranquility.” These archetypes represent Fiona as a princess but also as a source that can restore order (renewal) to Shrek and the fairy-beings. As viewers, we see her as an innocent and noble character worthy of recue. Through the use of modern computer animation, DreamWorks created a new and endearing twist on an old plot structure. Use of these common archetypes allows even the youngest of viewers to appreciate the need to create and preserve a sense of balance and fairness in the world. Purpose: to demonstrate your understanding of common archetypes. Note how the basic model about the movie Shrek basically accomplishes the following: identifies the genre, movie title and general topic/subject of a movie identifies two to three different, specific archetypes* incorporates the definitions of the archetypes into the analysis gives two to three specific examples from the movie (one for each archetype) that shows the archetype explains how each example fits the particular archetype ends with the purpose /significance of the movie and its use of archetypes * e.g. the quest for identity, or the damsel in distress, or the color green

Instruction: Obtain & Apply We Do Purpose: to identify expected structure and components of the micro-theme response. Tasks: Identify the following by annotating the text with notes and colors Closed Thesis Overall Purpose PIE = Point (topic sentence that introduces ---) Illustration (example of what & how archetype is depicted in the movie Explanation (why this is important) Conclusion (purpose) Outcome: Start outlining your own micro-theme on a movie(s)

Activity: We Do Note & Color Code Structure & Components The movie Star Wars presents three different archetypes: the journey to save the community, the underdog, and the battle over good and evil. These archetypes depict our inner human fears, hopes, and values. One archetype in Star Wars is the journey to save the world from external forces that threaten annihilation. Luke Skywalker must save his galaxy from Darth Vader, and throughout his journey, he encounters many side adventures that give him the skills, tools, and confidence he needs to overcome Vader: he rescues the princess, battles enemies, and destroys the Death Star. In the end, he successfully defeats Vader, saves the galaxy, and is rewarded by becoming a Jedi Knight. Luke’s journey not only satisfies our human desire for adventure, but also reveals our fear of threatening forces beyond our control and our need for heroes to inspire us to greatness. Understanding Luke’s journey also helps us clarify our own journey to restrain or overcome disasters in our apocalyptic world.

Essay Continued… Another archetype is the underdog, the unlikely hero who overcomes a force much stronger than he is. Although Luke Skywalker, a young man with few skills and even fewer life experiences, is afraid of Darth Vader, he reluctantly channels his inner strengths and talents. Be doing this, he learns to use the Jedi Force to discover the power of sacrifice, humility, and confidence so that with the help of his friends, he is able to defeat the ex-Jedi Darth Vader. Luke’s transition from underdog to hero shows how an inexperienced boy can defeat a more powerful foe and inspires us to circumvent our own weaknesses, realize our own inner strengths, and model his behavior to sacrifice parts of ourselves for a greater good. Because of our challenges in oppressive environments, we easily identify with someone like ourselves who channels his courage and overcomes the odds for himself and his people. Finally, the archetype of good overcoming evil is another important idea in the movie. Luke and the rebel alliance represent goodness. They are righteous fighters who risk everything for freedom to defeat Darth Vader who foolishly underestimates their determination and resolve to stand up against evil. Luke’s victory satisfies our need for justice, morality, and decency and also reinforces our understanding of the power of faith and courage. The conquest of good over evil gives us reassurance and certainty that our own convictions can prevail over forces that would subdue or corrupt us. These three archetypes illustrate and reinforce our human desire to control our fate/world, protect it from outside dangers, and fight the good fight.
