How
do we choose our heroes?
|
|
The study of heroes applies across the
curriculum in all grade levels. For example, it can be
an integral part of character education or thematic units,
a tool for reading comprehension and the development of
writing skills. It can enrich content in math and the
sciences. The interactivity of the MY HERO website expands
the study of heroes with computer and media-literacy opportunities.
At
its most basic level, the database of MY HERO stories
offers a rich and varied reading experience, with stories
appropriate for all levels. Navigating the categories
of heroes and using the search
engine develop basic Internet skills.
Visitors
who add their individual hero stories to our site, either
through the Guestbook
or by using our simple "Create"
program, can personalize the learning experience
while developing media literacy, research and writing
skills.
MY
HERO offers basic lesson
plans as a guideline to get you started. We appreciate
your evaluation of these plans, and encourage you to
submit
related lesson plans for us to share with others. |
