HEROISM: WHAT IS A HERO, WHERE DO WE FIND HEROES? HOW DO WE CHOOSE HEROES? WHO IS YOUR HERO? (Upper Elementary School)

Students read the essay How Should We Choose Our Hero? and then have a discussion about heroes. (For younger students, read this essay out loud stopping after each paragraph for discussion and to answer any questions about the content.) 

For younger students, teachers should adapt these lessons on heroism and lead class discussions.
