Storytelling Summary

One thing that I learned more about in this unit was the hero's journey. Before going into the unit, I had a vague idea on what the hero's journey was, but I wasn't super familiar with it. After the unit, I'm able to take some of my favorite stories and analyze what part of the hero's journey certain aspects take place in. Another thing I learned more about was formatting different ways of writing a story. Before, I only knew the basics of what a script looked like and the elements of it. Now I know the different parts of a script and the various different types of scripts that the film industry uses. Lastly, I learned more about the different archetypes for characters in different stories. I learned that almost every similar story uses the same characters for everything. The storytelling unit allowed me to refresh my memory with things that I learned from previous classes while also teaching me new things about story telling.
