HEROES coming soon to a classroom near you…

Be thinking about the difference between heroes in society, superheroes, personal heroes and the heroes of literature. Slide4

Joseph Campbell wrote, “A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.”

Christopher Reeve, the actor who played Superman, said, “A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.” Is Pi a hero? What about Rama? Is Siddhartha a hero?Slide5

Sample Introductions

Since the dawn of man, slavery has been a problem in human history. Webster’s dictionary defines slavery as “the state of being a slave,” as “the practice of owning slaves,” and as “a condition of hard work and subjection.” Slavery was one of the greatest tragedies in American history. There were many different aspects of slavery. Each created different kinds of problems for enslaved people.

Sample Introductions

“Once you learn to read, you will be forever free.” Frederick Douglass, an escaped slave who later became famous as an abolitionist and statesman, wrote that late in his life. Douglass realized that when a person gained literacy and could read about the greater world around them, that often led to dissatisfaction with their present circumstances. In fact, Douglass wrote that education and slavery were “incompatible.”

Sample Introductions

Learning about slavery in the American history course at Frederick Douglass High School, students studied the work slaves did, the impact of slavery on their families, and the rules that governed their lives. We didn’t discuss education, however, until one student, Mary, raised her hand and asked, ‘But when did they go to school?’ That modern high school students could not conceive of an American childhood devoid of formal education speaks volumes about the centrality of education to American youth today and also suggests the significance of the deprivation of education in past generations.

1) Put question marks next to sentences or paragraphs that are confusing to you or don’t seem to belong in that paragraph.2) Look over the “phrases to avoid” and cross them out if you see them in the piece.

3) Give specific advice about the opening paragraph. Has the writer included context for any reader to understand the connection to

Life of Pi

? Does the intro make you want to read further?

4) At the end of the entry, write a note to the writer. What have they done well? What do they need to work on? What questions are left unanswered by this piece?
