In reply to Renee Gagnon. I have used it in 10th grade. I think it would work great for grades 7-10.

What grade level would you say this is most appropriate for? Thank you!

In reply to Unknown. I did a long unit with my high school students where we watched the cartoon mini Series Over the Garden Wall then plotted the moments of the Hero's Journey together.

I have been tinkering with adjusting my units for next year so that there is a cohesive, year-long focus. I never thought about teaching The Hero's Journey first thing, but I like the sound of this! Coincidentally, my first short story is "Thank You, M'am" which you mentioned in the second post.
Thanks yet again for making me a better teacher!

In reply to Unknown. I don't have a rubric for this assignment right now. It is one that I give mostly full credit on as long as students mostly get the concept.

In reply to Diane Bakehouse. One of my favorite stories to use is Contents of a Dead Man's Pockets.

I so love this project. Will the project guidelines and rubric be available for purchase on your TPT store? Thanks so much for sharing this great idea!

I forget to ask: Which short story do you use with your graphic organizer?

I love this project. I would like to try it with my grade 11 ESL students.
