Hero's Journey Identifying Stages
An “ordinary” boy who makes things happen when he is angry or scared, the strong-willed daughter of a chief of a Polynesian village and our friendly neighborhood high school student bitten by a radioactive spider – they’re all heroes of their own narratives, or if you like, protagonists within a Hero’s Journey. Identifying and analyzing the acts and stages of the Hero’s Journey can be difficult for students if not modeled first. This resource includes plot summaries from the above three well-known narratives, which you can deconstruct with students to show how universal the steps of the Hero’s Journey can be – and where, why and how the stages may differ from story to story.
Contents
1 double-sided worksheet for identifying the stages of the Hero’s Journey based on the included plot summaries of each narrative
Varied for easy differentiation (lined or unlined for drawers and doodlers)
1 teacher answer key/example of completed work per narrative
1 blank worksheet for you or your students to create and/or analyze their own or provided narrative plot summaries
