Lead-in What Makes a Hero Watch the video clip and answer the following questions: 1. According to the video, why does the hero’s journey myth exist in all human cultures and keep getting upgraded? Because humans reflect on our world through symbolic stories of our own lives: we leave our comfort zone, have an experience that transforms us and then recover and do it again. 2. Based on the formula of making a hero, how can we become heroes in our own life? Can you tell us the “symbolic cave” you fear to enter? We should be sensitive to this formula, listen to our call for adventure, accept the challenge, conquer our fear and claim the treasures we seek. (e.g. auditions for the school play, baseball tryouts, love.)
