You have all been
super heroes in your online learning! This
week, you going to create your very own Super Hero! It can be you if you would like. Remember, Super Heroes usually have a real
name and a super name. Also, they have
super powers! I have included a template
below that lists some super powers you might potentially have. You do not have to use these. You can create your own super powers. You will also have to include a portrait of
yourself as a super hero!
You are going to
combine this information and create a newspaper article about your Super Hero! Remember to edit the article (add more
detail, check for spelling, etc.) and then publish it to add all of the
criteria of a real newspaper article we have been learning about for the past
two weeks. You can try to create it on
your computer. If not, you can also use paper and a pencil to create
your good copy.
