Thinking about Heroes Then and Now
Ancient Heroes - let's generate a list.
You will be working with a group to create a story board to use to share the story of one of the heroes listed above. (Two or three per group.)

You story board may be hand drawn or created on the computer. Artistic talent or lack thereof is not a problem.
Sharing stories:
1. What is a hero?
2. What separates a hero from others in the story?
3. What challenges did the ancient heroes face?
4, How would an ancient hero fit into today's society?
5. Are these "super" heroes still needed today?
6. What qualities are needed in a hero today?
Homework
