Super Heroes Themed Unit - Activities & Worksheets

This unit asks the students to look at heroism using super heroes that are the current rage. I have used Batman, a hero without powers, Spiderman, who because of an unfortunate accident develops super powers and Superman, an alien who came to earth and gained powers.
Activities include the students to use their research and
comprehension skills, vocabulary, drawing, comic strip writing, acrostic poetry and comparisons of the super heroes’ abilities. The students are also asked to create their own super persona.

I try to write my various thematic units so that they can be used with a class without the teacher having to complete too much preparation. So much of our time is taken up with this, mentoring, grading etc.
However, in all of my thematic units, I have tried to allow for the creativity of the teacher and the individuality of different classes. Something might work with one class but another class embraces the idea. I look at my activities and I go in one direction but I also want you to try other avenues of presenting the information I have provided.
