Five
ways to choose heroes How can we
choose our heroes? How can we display the kind of characteristics we admire in
heroes? well we can see heroes every where if we agreed with (Betty Deramus) a
columnist for the Detroit news who said" A hero is simply someone who rises
above his/her own weaknesses, for an hour, a day, a year, to do something
stirring". If we think about it, we can name countless individuals who have
the qualities of a hero, historical figures, friends and neighbors, even
children! Popular
personalities:
Students can choose individuals they admire and place a handmade
"portraits, poems, or any thing they can present about that
individual". Each character will be accompanied by a paragraph that
describes the attributes possessed by the individual that make him/her a role
model and a hero. Heroic
efforts Every
where on our planet there are many people who are lending a hand to people in
developing countries. Those who are in need of clean drinking water, who lack
medical care, and who face the ever-present danger of forgotten landmines. There
are many people who help those who need help and they are really heroes who are
trying to make life better for others. We can consider them as heroes, and maybe
we can help them in their organizations. Articles
to be featured in a classroom magazine: More often than not, heroes are normal people, not only celebrities
about whom you can find stories while you are reading a newspaper or watching TV
or surfing the internet you can also find
stories about ordinary people whom we can consider as heroes and then you can
collect their stories in your classroom magazine. Top 20
heroes:
Another way to have a hero is by naming
20 heroes of he last century, it wouldn't be an easy task! But all you have to
do is reading the stories about heroes, and their lives, then you have to tell
your class the story, try with them to divide the list into smaller groups. Then
ask your self questions like…how are these people alike or different? If you
have to select the most important member of the list, who would it be? And why? Model of
the month:
Calendars can display more than puppies and poster people !why not you with the
help of your class make a calendar of role models, one for each month of the
year? And this can help with a new personality to admire every month. |
