The Hero’s Journey is a free writing template from Read Write Think that I originally reviewed ten years ago. Like all RWT templates, it was based on Flash. It has since been relaunched to run on HTML5 in any web browser.
hero’s journey is an online writing activity produced by Read Write Think. The Hero’s Journey is an interactive resource that teaches students the key elements needed to develop a myth about a heroic character. The lessons have their roots in stories like The Odyssey. After reading about the required elements of a good hero story, students can create their own stories using the template provided by Read Write Think. Full stories must be printed to save.
Educational Applications
Read Write Think recommend hero’s journey for students in grades 9 through 12 and provides lesson plans for those grades. I looked at the lesson plans and I think they could be used with high school students as well.
