2019 - 10 - 14 - The 12 Steps To The Heros Journey

Joseph Campbell describes 12 steps in The Hero's Journey. And when we look at these steps we can see not only how they fit within the 3 act structure but also how they describe the typical learner's journey as well. The 12 steps are: 1. Ordinary World 2. Call To Adventure 3. Refusal Of The Call 4. Meeting The Mentor 5. Crossing The Threshold 6. Tests, Allies, Enemies 7. Approach To The Inmost Cave 8. Ordeal 9. Reward (Seizing The Sword) 10. The Road Back 11. Resurrection 12. Return With The Elixir These steps can be used to craft a good story, examine our own personal journey, and also to proactively build supports in place for our learners to anticipate their needs as they progress along a similar journey we call the leaner's journey. In the video, I walked through the steps using a Scrivener file that I use as a template from time to time. If you'd like a copy of the VERY BASIC template you can find it here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/u8hrzswr05pjnjw/AAAiNnM_9jzZx2joQb8mUEZLa?dl=0
