• Read the handouts about Joseph Campbell's "Hero's Journey"/monomyth. You'll notice that the one-page image matches up with the longer handout.
• Once you've read the handouts, spend about 10-15 minutes thinking about how "The Body"/Stand by Me matches up with the definition of a hero's journey. Can you connect certain events in the book to the stages of the hero's journey? Do a freewrite, or make a mind map. Be ready to discuss on Monday!
