Latino Student/Parent Survey
Karla Cruz, Class of 2012, is working on her senior thesis at UC Berkeley and she’s reached out for help from her Alma Mater. Karla is one of the Gates-Millennium scholars to graduate from the Met. She is majoring in Gender and Women's Studies with a minor in Education. Her thesis is on “the presence of sexual education in Mexican-American households” and she is requesting participation from our Hispanic, Mexican, and Latino parents and students to take a survey. Please consider participating and if you know others who will help out, feel free to share the link so her research will have great representation. Thanks for supporting our alumni!

Hero's Journey & Character Development
Today we will continue our discussion of story structure and introduce character archetypes with an introduction to the hero's journey. We will learn about this reoccurring story structure and how we often encounter it in movies, tv, and literature.
Then we will discuss character archetypes which are common character types that appear across a broad range of stories. We will begin by looking over this list of character archetypes. How many do you recognize??
Finally, you will work on developing your own character you created for your short story. A good way to create a dynamic character is to try to understand how that character would act in all situations rather than just the ones they face in your story. Understanding your characters basic motivations is key to creating a well rounded character. To assist in the development of your character please complete the following character development hand out and write a short narrative about the character. This will be due Friday (9/25) when you arrive in class.
