The Hero's Journey
After finishing with character archetypes, today we looked at the Hero's Journey itself. This cycle path can be found in many stories, as old as Biblical stories or Aesop's fables and as recent as the Avengers and the Hunger Games. Once you learn this story formula, you'll see it in everything! TV shows, movies, and books will never be the same! Here is the PowerPoint for this unit and a image that illustrates the Hero's Journey cycle! Check out more information at the Mensa for Kids website or at the Joseph Campbell Foundation website.
