Hero's Journey for Any Epic Poem, Novel, or Film, Body Biography Project

Hero's Journey for Any Epic Poem, Novel, or Film, Body Biography Project is filled with all you need to teach and promote the amazing characters your students experience in their reading. Your students will experience the unique approach of using a collaborative poster, the hero's journey, textual evidence, research, and the body biography project! It's here! The wait is over!

This blank template bundle includes 3 hero's journey outlines that include the 12 parts (from Joseph Campbell) for an adult female, adult male, and a child. Give your students a relevant and modern experience while promoting the 4 C's. Leave the body biography posters up all year long! I adapted the body biography concept to align with citing textual evidence, character traits, research, and inference skills.

**Shown on the cover, is an example of a completed hero's journey body biography for Beowulf. The resource includes the adult male template.

Includes 3 choices:

★ Featuring fun but mature images / body outlines- appealing to all grades. In line art for your students to add, a choice for their character drawing, color, and design.

★ Posters are 32 inches high by 10 inches wide. It requires 4 pages each.
