Write a tasty paragraph about your mythic archetype. Agree and/or disagree with the results of the quiz.
Greens
5 points______One topic sentence of the type listed below:
A power topic sentence
My mythic archetype, the warrior, does correspond to my personality in two very significant ways.
OR
A FANBOYS sentence: The online quiz to determine one's mythic archetype defined my archetype as the warrior, and this is accurate in some ways but not in others.
OR
A complex sentence: Although the online mythic archetype quiz defines my personality archetype as the warrior, I clearly do not match with that archetype.
Yellows
10 points______Include at least two key ideas--reasons, details, or facts-- that clearly state why or why not the archetype matches your personality.
"Carol Pearson's website Heroes Within describes the warrior archetype as a person who can "set and achieve goals, overcome obstacles, and persist in difficult times"; however, I have never felt very effective in that arena."
10 points_____In either your reds or your yellows, quote the website as shown above. Introduce it as shown and directly quote. Integrate the quote directly into your writing. The name of the website must be in italics. Then refute. You must do at least twice, once for each yellow.
Reds
10 points______Red: Have at least two reds that specifically provide examples, explanations, or evidence to support your key idea. OK...this is where creativity comes in: be specific, be bold, use vivid imagery, or include dialogue. Remember events and recreate them for your reader and for yourself. Reframe your experience! You can't say a lot here. Be brief, but really let me see it.
For example, I once started a masters program in psychology to become a Licensed Marriage and Child Counselor. However, I gradually began to feel that the people in the program were so crazy that it was unhealthy for me to be around them. They were angry people, and during mock group psychology sessions, they would begin to attack each other viciously calling each other vulgar names and ethnic slurs. The day after a woman with a Mohawk and a tattoo of the devil eating a baby called me a bitch, I quit the program.
Green Conclusion:
5 points______
A one sentence conclusion that restates your main idea with a different twist. Do not parrot your topic sentence.
10 points _____Type, properly format, Effective title, punctuate properly. Include this rubric stapled to the top. Avoid 2PV, VPR, NC, comma errors, WCL, SW. Color Code.
