7. Analyzing the Model Narrative for Content and Structure
Today you will analyze a model narrative to get a deeper understanding of how to turn your ideas into a story. Turn to page 132. Model Narrative: “The Golden Key.” We will read this text together initially. Consider the content and Think-Pair-Share: * “So who was the hero in this story?” * “What did she have to do? Why?” * “What happened at the end?”

8. Analyzing the Model Narrative for Content and Structure
Turn to “The Hero’s Journey” on page 24. • Look at “Act 1: Separation.” Think-Pair-Share: “So what is the call to adventure for this hero?” “What unknown does the hero enter into?” • Refer to “Act 2: Initiation and Transformation.” Think-Pair-Share: “Who are the hero’s helpers?” “What is the supreme ordeal that she faces?” • Refer to “Act 3: The Return.” Think-Pair-Share: “How does being a hero change her life when she returns?”

9. Narrative Story Line: Hero’s Journey
Select volunteers to share their ideas with the class. Discuss and record student ideas on the displayed organizer
Refer to the Model Narrative – The Golden Key and make notes about how the model follows the hero’s journey archetype on the graphic organizer like the author would have.

11. Continuing to Make Notes on My Hero’s Journey
Now that you have analyzed a model narrative, you will spend time updating your notes and ideas on your organizer for your hero’s journey stories based on any new thinking and learning. Focus particularly on the Theme box at the bottom of the organizer. Look at your text, “Key Elements of Mythology” on page 65. Use the “Key Elements of Mythology” to determine which elements of myth and which significant theme you are going to communicate in your hero’s journey narratives. This is time for you to continue thinking about ideas and taking notes for your hero’s journey story. Do not begin writing, and this is not yet a formal plan for your hero’s journey narrative.

12. Closing
Mix and Mingle: My Hero’s Journey • Think about how to tell someone the plot of your hero’s journey in no more than three sentences. • Mix and Mingle: 1. I will play music while you move around to the music. 2. When the music stops, you must stop and tell your hero’s journey story to the person closest to you in no more than three sentences.
3. Repeat until students have spoken to three people.
