    Create your own Hero and Myth: (slides 20-21

    1. Students will develop their own Greek hero
    using the heroic attributes and character
    traits. They will be provided with some key
    points to keep in mind. The student will have
    to explain why they chose those specific
    attributes.
    2. In groups of 2-3 student will compare their
    heroes and create a myth together. They
    must use at least one of their heroes and an
    existing Greek god/goddess.
    3. The students will present their Myth to the
    class.
    Note: Students will be given the remainder of the
    class and part of the next class. The last 40
    minutes of class will be use to present their myths.

    that is given us.

    In this lesson there are multiple modes used. Powerpoint (images), videos (sounds),
    artistic hand-drawn work (design), verbal discussion, and finally writing. This is so that we can
    appeal to all types of learners and enhance how they learn. We are using the text to self, text to
    text and text to world connections in the lesson. We do this by asking the students what their own
    strong qualities are, compare them to the text, and then discuss how do we go out into the world
    and be an everyday hero? (or citizen).
    We are using a linguistic style when writing about their greek hero but also using visual
    (their drawings) and spatial (warm up-activity) styles so that each student can get up and move
    but also show where their strengths lie.
    Situated practice is used when we ask students if they see everyday heros in their
    environment and community. We also use critical framing and transformed actions when have
    the students think critically about how they can be everyday heros and make their community
    better.
    This lesson is meant to be appealing to all learners and we attempted to include many different
    modes and techniques to make sure that it is a well rounded lesson. We wanted the students to
    think critically for themselves about being a hero, but to also be creative in creating a superhero
    that they can look up to but turn into because they created it themselves. They learn that old
    mythologies can be applied to everyday life.
