Background:
• Psychologist (A person trained and educated to perform psychological research, testing, and therapy) Carl Jung and scholar Joseph Campbell spread the idea of archetypes. They did not create the concept.
• There are repeating patters of character types, symbols, relationships, and situations in stories across time periods.
![Page 6: Tuesday, April 3, 2012 What does it take? Activity Notes](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032708/56649e745503460f94b75748/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Background:• For example, each culture has a creation myth,
and history repeats itself.
• Archetypes are common character types, symbols and relationships that appear often in stories (new and old). Archetypes help us to understand the purpose/function of characters in a story.

Background:• Archetypes are like masks that the characters
wear at different points of the story.

Your mission:
1) In small groups of four, identify the qualities/characteristics that your archetype commonly has in the story-whatever that may be.
2) Create a poster and label these qualitiesor characteristics.
3) Add any other notes that your classmates should know. You are the expert, so teach them!
4) You will share these notes with the class.
