Our classes are investigating the question of courage and creating a collaborative model of a true hero. It's not easy, but for the sake of consensus, we are discussing traits - some admirable and some not - of true heroes. Are all heroes physically strong? Are all heroes brave? Do all heroes face danger or adversity despite the risks they themselves must face? What about people who risk their physical safety due to their jobs? How does culture or environment affect how we see these ideas?
We'll be pouring through song lyrics and reading current events to guide us through our inquiry. In this quest, you might be thinking about your own personal heroes. Who is that person in your life who fits those characteristics we've been discussing?
You'll have a chance to share this, so be thinking about who fits your definition of a hero.
Meantime, I do appreciate your cooperation and contribution to class discussions. Our classroom community is full of heroes!
