WEBQUEST: NOW LOOK FOR YOUR HERO!

GUIDELINES:
1) Search the internet and try to find basic information on your hero. (You can use wikipedia.)

2)  Then find relevant pictures of your hero through Google Images.

3A) When you have enough pictures and information, write a short text which explains a few things about your hero.
3B) Finally don't forget to explain why this hero is so special! 

If you need help with the vocabulary you can either ask your teacher or use this dictionary on your own!


PRESENTATIONS!


Next time you will make a short presentation of your subject. So you will have to:

- 1) Explain why your subject/hero is special.
- 2) Focus on what is important (facts/dates).
- 3) Conclude: you can show a video or play a song. If you have neither of the latter: just say "Thank you!" 

EVERYBODY'S GOT A HERO! IF YOU DON'T HAVE ONE, 
MAYBE YOU ARE ONE!

THE SUPER LIST - A Short Film by Adam Winston - Director's Cut

PLOT: A thoughtful comedy about a young boy, a comic-book nerd, and his on-going struggle with neighborhood bullies.
