06.05 - Ramayana Hero's Journey

The focus of today's class was on the hero's journey as it is represented through The Ramayana. Our goal for today was to have everyone work with a partner to create a hero's journey slideshow for The Ramayana. In preparation for this, we reviewed how to use the slideshow format to present the stages of the hero's journey. To focus this review, we watched a YouTube video (below) in which two improvisational actors explain the format. This presentation is a bit more funny/silly since it is improvised. Our activity uses the format in a planned and serious way (but still fun) way to look at key events from The Ramayana.

Groups ended up having a lot of work to do in finishing the story and mapping it out according to the hero's journey so we did not present today, but will present tomorrow.

Hero's Journey Note Sheet (don't forget to reference our work on the ordering of stages)
