Explain aspects of mythology that depict human experiences.

Scenario 

In this assignment, you will describe your own personal experiences in a common mythical structure. 

Myths are stories that cultures use to make sense of real human experiences.  

In this module, you learned that many myths follow the arc of the Hero’s Journey, and that the Hero’s Journey is as influenced by real-life experiences as it is the inspiration for future human creation.  

Think of a time in your life when you participated in the path of the Hero’s Journey. You could have been any of the main characters—the hero or a figure supporting the hero. 

Instructions 

Create an infographic using a free Canva timeline template, Word template, or PowerPoint template. Be sure to include the following elements in your timeline: 

• Identify each of the ten steps of the Hero’s Journey. Explain how the journey unfolded during each of the ten steps. 
• Clearly state the stage of the hero’s journey to which each step aligns.
• Explain what role you played in the journey.
• Explain what the call to adventure was.
• List your steps as a chronology of events.

Your infographic should be saved as a PDF document or another instructor-approved option submission.
