     The students will brainstorm a list of qualities that heroes possess and write brief sketches of people they consider to be heroes. The students will use the internet to research various heroes, and develop a survey for the entire student body to complete.  From that data, the students will create a bar graph titled "Top 10 Heroes".  The students will play a mathematics game that combines addition and words that describe the qualities of heroes.  The students will write pattern poems reviewing the qualities of heroes, write paragraphs about the heroes that were researched, and make a "Wall of Heroes".
