-  First, as a team, brainstorm ideas for each scene.  All you need is a bullet point phrase description.  So there will be multiple possible ideas for each scene.
-Next, as a team, decide which ideas are best.   Remember- the best stories are not the most obvious and predictable.   It's possible you might combine ideas from different people into one storyline.

Remember- you are not writing your story here.  You are creating the story-line.

You will write the full story including details and dialogue in the script later!

Aiden: Finds food on land and goes up every day to eat, goes in the ocean to play with Manolo
Sam: Vera is now a week back to her normal routine and is happy as can be. She has been checked in by the Loggerhead next door, the one who helped this whole adventure start. They both seem happy to see each other. Also, the Marine biologists came to do a quick check up and research secession on Vera. Vera was confused about what was happening then but she is all health and replenished from her trip. Vera is now in The Gulf of Mexico living her life, swim, eat, and be free.
Evan: The two turtles, along with their newfound friend, travel back to they came from, and return to their normal daily routines.

# data[].attributes.body
Aiden: He is very tired and wants to find a new source of food.
Sam: Exhausted and drained Vera is now back to her home in the Gulf of Mexico. She knows she has to get back to her daily routine and get food. But she just takes about an hour to relax in her little area of the sea to just thinking about what she has done and how far she has traveled.
Evan: Now that the turtles have arrived at the breeding grounds, they all find suitable mates. The females will eventually lay their eggs on a beach. It was a successful mating season for the three males turtles.

# data[].attributes.body
Aiden: Goes back to the Gulf and goes to sleep for the night
Sam: The road back home felt way shorter than getting there. But on the way back she had seen things she has seen on her way there to South Carolina. That helped Vera get back home. Halfway back to the Gulf of Mexico she encounters the Miami Terrace Reef again. She is very cautious here she does not want to see that shark again. Luckily the shark has migrated somewhere else and is now gone. Vera the Loggerhead had a fast and safe travel home.
Evan: The road back to the breeding grounds was very peaceful. The turtles were closer to the breeding grounds then they thought, and arrive within 24 hours.

Classroom Applications and Uses

Example Exercises

Customize the level of detail and number of cells required for projects based on available class time and resources.

Students identify the stages of the heroic journey in a piece of literature by creating one cell depicting each of the twelve steps.

Students create storyboards that show and explain each stage found in the work of literature, using specific quotes from the text which highlight each part of the journey.

Students create an outline of their own original story that follows the monomyth stages.

Common Core

ELA-Literacy.RL.9-10.3: Analyze how complex characters (e.g., those with multiple or conflicting motivations) develop over the course of a text, interact with other characters, and advance the plot or develop the theme

ELA-Literacy.RL.9-10.7: Analyze the representation of a subject or a key scene in two different artistic mediums, including what is emphasized or absent in each treatment (e.g., Auden's "Musée des Beaux Arts" and Breughel's Landscape with the Fall of Icarus)

ELA-Literacy.W.9-10.6: Use technology, including the Internet, to produce, publish, and update individual or shared writing products, taking advantage of technology's capacity to link to other information and to display information flexibly and dynamically

ELA-Literacy.SL.9-10.2: Integrate multiple sources of information presented in diverse media or formats (e.g., visually, quantitatively, orally) evaluating the credibility and accuracy of each source

ELA-Literacy.RL.11-12.3: Analyze the impact of the author's choices regarding how to develop and relate elements of a story or drama (e.g., where a story is set, how the action is ordered, how the characters are introduced and developed)

ELA-Literacy.RL.11-12.7: Analyze multiple interpretations of a story, drama, or poem (e.g., recorded or live production of a play or recorded novel or poetry), evaluating how each version interprets the source text. (Include at least one play by Shakespeare and one play by an American dramatist.)

ELA-Literacy.W.11-12.6: Use technology, including the Internet, to produce, publish, and update individual or shared writing products in response to ongoing feedback, including new arguments or information

ELA-Literacy.SL.11-12.2: Integrate multiple sources of information presented in diverse formats and media (e.g., visually, quantitatively, orally) in order to make informed decisions and solve problems, evaluating the credibility and accuracy of each source and noting any discrepancies among the data

Aiden: Finds more in a treasure chest
Sam: Vera is now done laying her eggs and is covering them up nicely. It has been a great time being home and she wishes she could stay. But its time to leave now, it's just how it goes. Next year at this time she will make another adventure back so she is not too sad. It has been an amazing trip getting home but now Vera has to get back to her home in the Gulf of Mexico. As she leaves she looks at the other Loggerheads one last time to say goodbye and they head their separate ways.
Evan: The turtles end up with as much food as they can take back to the breeding grounds, and manage to hide until the sharks stop chasing them. Then they begin their journey back home.

# data[].attributes.body
Aiden: Manolo eats all of the food and Maximus has none.
Sam: It is mid-June now, crawling up onto the sandy beach the aroma of home fills Vera up with delight. She now is searching a good spot to lay her eggs. A few other Loggerheads are arriving at the same time Vera is and most of them are her siblings. Finally, Vera has found the perfect spot to lay her eggs. She digs a hole in the ground and lays 100 eggs. Depending on the temperature of the sand that the egg is in, the egg can either hatch to be a girl or a boy.
Evan: The turtles develop a plan. Two of them will distract the sharks. Loggerhead turtles can swim in short bursts of up to 22 mph.

# data[].attributes.body
Aiden: Swim up around North Carolina and Finds food.
Sam: For days and months, Vera has traveled and swam and has kept her eyes on the prize. She has been determined to keep going. About 1,600 miles of swimming later Vera starts to get excited. She sees another Loggerhead, the turtle smells familiar too. Once Vera catches up both of the turtles know they are sisters and say hello. All of a sudden the sand beneath them is getting closer and closer. Finally, after two months of traveling Vera has made it to her home.
Evan: The sharks begin to see the swarming mass of sharks in the depths of the water. They decide to swim around the area without getting to close and realize that the sharks are hoarding an enormous amount of food. They realize this could be valuable to bring back to the breeding ground.

# data[].attributes.body
Aiden: Meets a Dolphin named Manolo and becomes friends. Still no food
Sam: Vera is now finding herself being chased by a predator. The great white shark, it is very intimidating and scary but this strong Loggerhead is determined to not have her adventure end. She dodges the jaws of the giant creature and swims down into the reef where she finds a nice hiding hole. She is safe, for now.
Evan: The turtles realize that they need food to get through this adventure. They must find food first. Once they find food, they start swimming towards the sharks again. Then, one of them gets caught in a fishers net, and the turtles must bite through the net to get him free. Now that they are free, they must find the sharks once more.

Aiden: Swims out of the Gulf to the coast of Florida. New waters and lots of sharks
Sam: Vera is now near the Miami Terrace Reef. She is about halfway through her journey and is very motivated. Then she comes to a stop, is that what she thinks it is?
Evan: The turtles agree that they won't get too involved with the ordeal, as it is important that they make it to the breeding ground in time. They begin swimming back to where they found the sharks at first.

# data[].attributes.body
Aiden: Knows he will starve if he doesn't have food. Decides to go
Sam: It is the day of departure and Vera is ready and confident. As she is swimming she knows this will be a great part of her life because it is exciting and maybe she will see her other Loggerhead brothers and sisters back at the same beach on the coast of South Carolina. As she is swimming she realizes that she will get to actually do all of these things and it is very exciting so she is very motivated to do great and get home fast.
Evan: As the turtles are swimming back, they meet another turtle. They tell this turtle about what they saw, and the turtle says that he saw the sharks as well, and agrees to help them explore the area

# data[].attributes.body
Aiden: Sees a shark, runs away.
Sam: This will be the first time Vera the Loggerhead will breed and lay eggs. Traveling thousands of miles to lay eggs on the same beach you were born is tough. Vera is nervous and decides to wait a day before heading out. It was a good idea anyway because a storm is going to pass overhead that night.
Evan: While searching for the breeding grounds, the turtles suddenly sensed they could be in danger. Their suspicions are confirmed when they see a massive school of sharks swimming below them. They decide that it would be a better idea to wait a couple of days before going to the breeding ground. They start swimming back home.

# data[].attributes.body
Aiden: Can't find any food, Goes into unfamiliar waters to try and find food.
Sam: It is almost April, which means it is almost time for Vera to start heading out to find a mate. Mating season is between June and July but it can start as early as April and as late as September. The turtle that is nearby is a male Loggerhead, it is almost mating season so they decide to mate. Vera is all ready to go on her adventure to her home. She is in the Gulf of Mexico now but she has to swim all the way to the coast of South Carolina.
Evan: On their migration to warmer waters, they heard a warning cry from another turtle. The distressed turtle warned them of danger that it sensed ahead. The two friends were intrigued and continued on to find the breeding ground. On the way, they made sure to keep their eyes peeled for the danger that they were warned about.

Aiden: the Gulf of Mexico, Lives alone, About to go in search for food named Maximus
Sam: In the Gulf of Mexico there is a Loggerhead. This Loggerhead was tagged by marine biologists and have named it Vera. Vera the Loggerhead sea turtle is doing its normal routine swim and find food. She is not alone, she sometimes checks in with another turtle that lives around the same waters.
Evan: The sea turtle lives in the Gulf of Mexico. He doesn't have any living family that he knows of, but he lives with one of his turtle friends. They eat crabs and shellfish together and are getting ready to migrate to warmer waters for the mating season.
