TEACHING THE HERO’S JOURNEY: Dos and Don’ts of Unit Design [Ep 256]

We’re kicking off a new four-part series all about teaching the Hero’s Journey—starting with the dos and don’ts of unit design. In this episode, we share how this timeless framework can lead to deeper thinking, richer discussions, and yes… even a newfound love for fantasy (spoiler: one of us used to be a skeptic!). You’ll walk away with essential questions to anchor your units AND a free evidence tracker to help students go beyond surface-level plot.Resources:Freebie: Hero’s Journey Evidence TrackerJoin Happy Hour!Shop more BNT resourcesRelated Episodes:Episode 15, To Write an Essential QuestionEpisode 16, To Find Supplementory TextsEpisode 59, Essential Question Workshop: 12th Grade LitEpisode 81, Essential Question Workshop: Dystopia (Woohoo!)SHOW NOTES: https://www.bravenewteaching.com/home/episode256 "Send us a message - please include your contact information so we can chat soon!"Head to bravenewteaching.com/waitlist to become a beta tester for BNT University!Support the show📚 BNT PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT & RESOURCES 👩‍💻Join Happy Hour!Curriculum RehabDown with the Reading QuizShop the BNT Resource LibraryConnect with us on Instagram @bravenewteachingSubscribe to our YouTube Channel
