Original Prompta lesson plan for a 45 minute class that introduces students to the heros journey story structure and the stages. include an activator turn and talk to get them talking. Chunk the lesson so I have to check their progress periodically and add an exit ticket to assess understanding
This lesson focuses on the concept of the Hero's Journey, a narrative framework that consists of three main stages: Departure, Initiation, and Return. Students will learn to identify and define these stages and relate them to familiar stories, helping them to understand the elements that make a hero's journey compelling. Through activities such as discussions, matching stories to stages, and reflections, students will explore the qualities that define a hero and how these stages manifest in various narratives. The lesson aims to enhance their comprehension of storytelling and the character development within literature.
