Student Technology Standards

Vocabulary

The Call to Adventure – “Destiny has summoned the hero and transferred his spiritual center of gravity from within the pale of his society to a zone unknown.”
The Guardian – “The first encounter of the hero-journey is a protective figure, often a little old crone or old man, who provides the adventurer with amulets against the dragon forces he is about to pass...What such a figure represents is the benign, protecting power of destiny…Some wizard, hermit, shepherd, or smith who appears who appears to supply the amulets and advice that the hero will require
Crossing the first threshold – “Standing for the limits of the hero’s present sphere or life horizon. Beyond is darkness, the unknown, and danger.”
The Mentor – “The hero is covertly aided by the advice, amulets, and secret agents of the guardian whom he met before his entrance into his region, or it may be that he here discovers that there is power everywhere support him in his superhuman passage.”
Tests and trials – “This is the second stage of the way, that of the purification of the self, when the senses are cleansed and humbled. This is this process of dissolving, transcending, or transmuting.”
Abyss or Belly of the whale – “The hero, instead of conquering, is swallowed into the unknown, and would appear to have died.” The hero is willing to sacrifice himself in conquering the abyss. “No creature can attain a higher grade of nature without ceasing to exist…the slaying of the dragon having enacted upon their own bodies the great symbolic act, scattering their flesh, like the body of Osiris, for the renovation of the world.”
Transformation – “The hero emerges a superior man, a born king. Where the hero now faces a test, he easily defeats the obstacles and makes no mistake.”
Return threshold – “The powers have blessed the hero, he now sets forth under their protection. At the return threshold the hero re-emerges. The boon that he brings restores the world.” Joseph Campbell from The Hero with a Thousand Faces.
