Lesson 5: Attach the completed Lesson 6: Complete the Unit Exam In life and on the hero's Journey, we navigate a road of trials that challenge and refine us. It is always helpful to have directions to find our way. Sometimes the directions we need are literal ones that use landmarks or directions from a compass, and sometimes we need directions in the form of advice from someone who has traveled the road before us. In your novel, the characters travel through different settings. Use what you have read in your novel to create a map and provide directions to at least two settings.
These directions should explain and illustrate tenting that were important to one of the main characters in your novel. ACTIVITY ONE: CREATE A MAP 1. Think about specific locations your character has been and where he or she is now. Add at least two places from the novel to your map. 2. Next, add a minimum of three more places to your map.
These places can be locations that are mentioned in the novel directly, or they can be made up locations that you predict will be important. Your map will have a total of five locations. 3. Choose or create images to represent the five places you have on your map.
Your images can represent literal actions (a house, a city, a road, etc. ), or they can represent figurative locations (the character's heart, his or her mind, a place of loneliness, etc. ). 4. Label the places you have included on your map. 5.
Label your map with cardinal (north, south, east, west) directions. Consider using a Web 2. 0 tool or a graphics program to create the visual representation of the Journey. Example of what a map might look like: Add your map here: GIVE DIRECTIONS Write detailed travel directions explaining how the character in your novel travels from one location to the next.
Write a five sentence paragraph giving detailed travel erections explaining how your character traveled to each of the five locations on your map. Be sure your directions are ordinal (in order. ) You must use the following words in your paragraph: north, south, east, west, first, second, third, fourth, and fifth. You may need to use your creative license (the creative freedom to make up details) to create the cardinal and ordinal directions.
Your directions do not necessarily need to be geographically correct to the novel. However, they should be appropriate to the story and accurate for the map you created.Example of how travel directions might look: Add your travel directions here. Remember your travel directions should: 1. Be five sentences minimum in length. 2.
Include the following words in your paragraph: north, south, east, west, first, second, third, fourth, and fifth. 3. Be written in order. 4. Be creative.

You may choose an already published song or write one of your own to represent the hero's Journey in your novel.
You've Got A Friend In Me by randy Newman - You've got a friend in me When the road looks rough ahead And you're miles and miles From your nice warm bed Just remember what your old pal said Boy, you've got a friend in me You've got troubles, well I've got 'me too There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you We stick together and we see it through Some other folks might be A little bit smarter than I am Bigger and stronger too Maybe But none of them will ever love you the way I do It's me and youAnd as the years go by Boys, our friendship will never die You're goanna see It's our destiny For your response: include the title, lyrics, artist, Write a thoroughly developed paragraph (7-10 sentences) explaining your song choice and the significance of the lines. Be sure to explain how the song connects to what the hero learned or how he or she changed as a result of the Journey. "You've got a friend in me" by Randy Newman was a song that reminded me of the book "Of Mice and Men". This song connects to the friendship George and Ellen shared.
For example a couple of the lines to this song is "You've got a friend in me,When the road looks rough ahead". That line in particular connects to George and Lens's friendship because they always traveled together and even though it might be a long way till they get where they need to go they are still friends no matter what. This songs looks as if it would be the way George thinks of the friendship because he is always there for Ellen and looking out him in case he gets into trouble. So it's like George saying to Ellen that he's got a friend in him no matter what, if he does wrong he will stick by through thick and thin and will do what's best for him.
