Brave New Teaching: A Podcast for High School and Middle School Teachers 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.
