New month, new unit! 
In ELA, we started our Hero Unit. This unit centers on the idea of the monomyth - the hero's journey. In the unit, we will be focusing on these essential questions:

  • Is nothing new? Why do patterns in literature repeat themselves over and over?
  • ​Why does society crave this type of hero?

During the unit, students will read both ancient myths and modern superhero comics and stories and will analyze the elements of the monomyth in each. The unit will end with students writing their own hero story. Check out  this  video, it gives a great overview of the monomyth!
