Goal Setting….

Most parenthetical elements are set off by commas or by parentheses. Sometimes, though, such elements call for a sharper separation from the rest of the sentence.

Rule 1: Use the dash to indicate an abrupt break in thought or speech or an unfinished statement or question.

Example: The results-I am happy to say- are favorable.Rule 2: Use a dash to mean namely, that is, in other words, and

similar expressions that come before an explanation.Example: I speak two languages-French and Spanish. (namely)The weather was cool-in the seventies- for the first time in

weeks. (that is)Rule 3: Use parentheses to enclose material of minor

importance in a sentence.Example: The child’s question (“Why is the sky blue?) stumped

his parents.Our neighbors’ three year old daughter (she loves the water)

swims in the pool with her parents.

Arthurian Legend: A legend is a story about extraordinary deeds that has been told

and retold for generations among a group of people. Legends, which are often about a particular person, are thought to

have a historical basis but may also contain some elements of magic and myth.

I can explain how characters function as archetypes.

Arthurian Legends

The King Arthur legends are probably based on a fifth-or sixth-century Celtic chieftain , or warlord, who lived in Wales and led his people to victory against Saxon invaders from northern Germany. The chieftain was said to have been fatally wounded in battle and buried in the abbey of Glastonbury, where a gravestone can still be seen bearing his name.

Arthurian legend as we know it today emerged gradually over centuries as storytellers told and retold popular tales about a great chief who mysteriously disappeared but promised to return when his people needed him.

When Sir Thomas Malory wrote Le Morte d’Arthur, toward the end of the fifteenth century, the days of knights were over. Nonetheless, something in Malory’s portrayal of those days seems to have answered a longing in his audience for the more orderly time of knights and lords and castles-a time when “might fought for right.”

Sir Lancelot (or Launcelot) was one of the Knights of the Round Table in the Arthurian legend. He was the most trusted of King Arthur’s knights and played a part in many of Arthur's victories. Lancelot is best known for his love affair with Arthur's wife Guinevere and the role he played in the search for the Holy Grail. He is also known as the most loyal friend of Arthur's nephew, Sir Gawaine. Lancelot's life and adventures have been featured in several medieval romances, often with conflicting back-stories and chains of events.

A Glimpse of Sir Launcelot

While reading the story, “The Tale of Sir Launcelot du Lake” on pages 762-766, think about the archetypal hero and the traits of the hero’s journey. How does Launcelot follow these traits? Is he an archetypal hero?

“Of all his knights one

was supreme.”

from Le Morte de Arthur

Sir Thomas Malory

Questions:1. What characteristics of chivalry does Sir Launcelot display?2. Why do you think Launcelot wants to fight in plain armor with no coat of arms or identifying symbol?3. What chivalric ideals are illustrated by the incident at the pavilion?

1. Create a crest or shield (used as armor) that depicts YOUR code of chivalry.

2. Remember your creation should provide an illustration or visual representation of your code of chivalry.
