Rikki Tikki-Tavi and the Hero's Journey

Create a small poster explaining how Rudyard Kipling's short story illustrates the elements of the Hero's Journey.

Use the model on pages six and seven of your English journal as a guide.  Include as many elements of the Hero's Journey as you can.

Include the following on your poster:

• The title and author in fancy lettering.
• A circle showing the path of the Hero's Journey. (See page 6/7 in your English journal.)
• Colorful, large illustrations.  
• Names of elements in the Hero's Journey
• Written explanations of how Rikki Tikki-Tavi shoes each element. These should be short paragraphs.

Please see Mr. Chester for large blank paper if you need it.

Projects will be graded on:

• How well they explain elements of the Hero's Journey.
• How creative they are visually.
• Overall visual quality.
• Correct grammar and spelling.

This project is due on Friday, Sept. 15.

This is a 75% grade.  

Your poster will be on display for a gallery walk. 

If you need to re-read the story you can find a copy of it here.
