Hero Awards

In preparation of Martin Luther King Jr., Day we spent some time this week talking about heroes. We read the Scholastic News mini-book From Boy to Hero and The Story of Ruby Bridges by Robert Coles. Then the class helped me make a circle map to brainstorm characteristics of a hero. Didn't they come up with some great ideas?!


Today we worked on Hero Webs where students got to do some thinking about a person that they would like to give a Hero Award to. Students will complete a Hero Award report at home so we can make a Hero bulletin board next week. 

Here is my Hero Award report!


What do you think makes a hero?


Is there someone in your life that you would give 

the Hero Award to? Why?


Who is your favorite hero from history? Why?
