My Project

With these novels, our fifth-grade students will explore the theme of the hero's journey through these captivating books: "Odd and the Frost Giants," "The Green Ember," and "Out of My Mind." In "Odd and the Frost Giants," students will follow Odd, a young boy who embarks on an extraordinary adventure to save his village from a frost giant. This story will introduce essential elements of the hero's journey, such as the call to adventure, facing trials, and personal transformation. Students will analyze Odd's character development and the significance of bravery, friendship, and determination as they relate to the hero's journey framework.

Students will be able to choose a book with a similar plot structure from this project that interest them.

In "The Green Ember," students will dive into the struggles of two young rabbits, Heather and Picket, as they navigate a world filled with danger and hope. This book highlights the hero's journey through themes of loss, resilience, and the quest for identity. By examining their adventures, students will see how heroes can emerge from the most unexpected places and how courage can manifest in various forms. Lastly, "Out of My Mind" introduces them to Melody, a brilliant girl with cerebral palsy, who battles societal misconceptions to find her voice. Through her journey of self-discovery and empowerment, students will learn how true heroes inspire change and impact the lives of others. Collectively, these stories will allow students to understand the multifaceted nature of heroism and the growth that comes from overcoming obstacles.
