Enter the Hero

We started the day talking about the characteristics of the modern hero, coming up with a class definition of what makes someone a hero. Then, after wrapping up our work with Greek word roots (I collected the Roots assignment from yesterday and a brief artistic display assignment done in class), students spent the rest of the period working on the writing assignment below. Rough drafts are due tomorrow.
~~~~~~~~~~~
In a short story or essay, tell us about your hero. Who is s/he (or who are they)? What is it about him/her/them that makes him/her/them a hero in your opinion?
Write carefully and with specific, vivid detail.
  • Use paragraphs.
  • One page minimum.
  • Reread (aloud preferably), checking for spelling, grammar, and coherence.
