This was the first assignment of English 10 that we did. We were supposed to define a hero and what it means to be one in the best of our abilities. because it was our first project, this was a basis to see what skills we needed to focus and improve on for the rest of the year.
Creative thinking- This assignment required you to think outside of the box and define the terms of what “Hero” meant. Hero is a very vague term and it was our job to narrow it down and say just what it meant to be a hero. How we did that was up to us.
Critical thinking- as well as creative thinking we had to think about where we had seen an act of “heroism” in our life. Relating text to real life is an important skill and this assignment started teaching us how to recognize that.
