A Learning Tool
and a Guiding Theme
The hero's journey is the pattern of human
experience. It's in every story we encounter:
in literature, film, myth and life. Because of its universality, the
journey pattern gives your students a tool to better understand,
interpret and analyze the stories they read and the challenges they
live.
The Hero's Journey: A Guide to Literature and Life provides everything you need to start teaching your students this powerful tool. It's three key units―The Rite of Passage, The Hero's Journey, and The Call Refused― provide the foundation, and nine other units offer options for deepening and broadening the basic pattern.
The Hero's Journey: A Guide to Literature and Life will help you bring these benefits to your students. What's more, the journey archetype's depth and applicability make it a powerful theme around which to build your curriculum.
