Each teacher of the common narrative structure known as the monomyth uses language they have developed over time to explain each facet of the Hero’s Journey in a manner that allows their students to experience success. This resource of 9 alternative monomyth graphic organizers and accompanying worksheet versions attempts to bring as many variations of the names of each stage and act as possible, to give students the best chance of understanding that the wording of the steps is not what is important, but the context. Whether it is called “separation”, “awareness” or “departure”, students should be able to understand that this is the stage in which the hero leaves their “ordinary” world (alternatives include “known”, “ordered” and “normal”) to enter that of the “extraordinary” (or “unknown”, “chaos”, “special”). Hence the purpose of these alternative designs (despite being cool extra worksheets and note-taking pages for your students) is to facilitate discussion about how the Hero’s Journey doesn’t change, but can be explained in different ways.
✂ Contents
Each of the 9 unique designs is provided blank, filled and structured. The blank versions are great for you to then direct students to use the wording that you prefer. The filled versions can be used as comparison tools, or as worksheets for students to take notes on these steps using the class text. You could also add your own questions to these versions digitally. The structured versions will have simple prompts for students, so they can use the pages as note-taking pages or worksheets for the class text.
