HEROES CHAPTER 3


CHAPTER OVERVIEW


Heroism and heroes of different shapes and sizes, and from various walks of life, play the main roles in this chapter. It shows how ordinary people become heroes by their actions and that this is not often repaid with the same kindness. Learners study newspaper articles at length and later write their own article after conducting interviews asking friends: “What is a hero?” They also read a ballad and answer questions about it. The chapter concludes with learners designing their own super hero to solve a problem they experience in their community and write a descriptive paragraph about such a hero.
