Imagine. It’s the first day of school, and all those faces are looking back at you. Somehow you have to learn all of their names, strengths, weaknesses, and quirks. You have to figure out how to motivate them, hook them, and guide their learning.
What if you could do that with one simple, flexible, fun activity?
You can – with the Create Your Own Superhero project!
In this activity, you discuss the common characteristics of superheroes with your students, and then they use their own to transform those traits into custom superheroes. With an activity plan, student planning sheets, templates, and a scoring rubric, you’ll have everything you need to make that getting-to-know-you phase fun and easy.
Even better, the finished superhero pages make great bulletin board or hallway displays! You can knock out the initial icebreakers, a creative writing project, and get your decorating done all at one time.
