Let’s re-read pages 200-203. Pay attention to the description of being inside the whale’s mouth. What do

you imagine it is like?

Lesson 3.1


To draw a detailed sketch of the inside of the whale’s mouth. Use

clues from the text to help you. Once you’ve finished, write a

short descriptive paragraph to go with your drawing.

Lesson 3.1


Zones of relevance1. Discuss the words with your partner then sort them onto the diagram. Use a dictionary if

you’re unsure of any of the definitions.

2. If a word is completely irrelevant and does not remotely describe being inside the

whale’s mouth AT ALL put it outside of the chart.

3. If it IS relevant, decide how relevant - the more relevant the word is it is the closer it

must be to the centre. When you’ve finished, add your own words to the chart.

1 Ordinary World

We’re introduced to the hero in their

normal day-to-day setting.EXAMPLES:

Woody in Andy’s

room, Mouse on the

Huntress, Belle living

with her father in

small village in

France.

Lesson 3.2


2 The Call To Adventure

The hero receives a challenge that

will take them away from their

ordinary life, for example a quest to

follow or a mission.

EXAMPLE:

Shrek is told he must

rescue Princess

Fiona in order to get

his swamp back.

Lesson 3.2


3 Refusal Of The Call

The character rejects the challenge

either arguing that they are not

capable, or don’t want to embark on

the adventure or that the adventure

is unnecessary. Other characters

can refuse the call on behalf of the

hero or try and persuade the hero

not to go.

EXAMPLE: The

Dursleys hiding Harry

Potter’s invitations to

Hogwarts.

Lesson 3.2


4Meeting with the mentor

The hero meets a mentor who will

guide him/her towards the

adventure but ultimately the hero

must face the challenge alone.

EXAMPLE: Harry

Potter meets Hagrid.

Lesson 3.2


5Crossing The Threshold

The character leaves their ordinary

world and starts their adventure.

This can either be voluntarily or

involuntarily.

In The Lord of the

Rings, Frodo crosses

the threshold both of

his house at Bag End

and also out of the

Shire, into lands

totally foreign to him.

Lesson 3.2


6Tests, Allies & Enemies

The hero’s resolve is tested as

he/she faces obstacles and

challenges along the way. New

characters often appear at this

point, some of whom will help and

support them on their journey.

Others may be enemies.

EXAMPLE: Buzz

meeting the aliens at

Pizza Planet. Simba

meeting Timon and

Pumba in The Lion

King.

Lesson 3.2


7The Ordeal

The critical moment in the story.

The hero must confront their worst

fears. This is normally a perilous

situation or a meeting with an

enemy.

EXAMPLE: Buzz and

Woody have to

escape from Sid.

Lesson 3.2


8The Road Home

The hero’s resolve is tested as

he/she faces obstacles and

challenges along the way.

The hero decides to return to the

“ordinary world” to defeat the

enemy/claim their reward/clear their

name etc…

EXAMPLE: Simba

returning to Pride

Rock to challenge

Scar.

Lesson 3.2


9The Resurrection

This the climax of the story.

Sometimes this is a character who

was believed dead returning. It can

also be the hero realising they have

changed forever.

EXAMPLE: Belle tells

the Beast she loves

him and breaks the

curse.
