Ever noticed that most mega-hit literature's have the same fundamental structure? This familiar structure starts and ends in an ordinary world but quests through an unfamiliar world of 12 special events. It is known as the Monomyth or Hero's Journey.

I will take the rough concept that has not been tested in my own curriculum, and verify its effectiveness after implementing the changes.
