What is CHARACTER?
As a class, share characteristics or attributes that you think every hero should possess.
After you have had time to share, are there any attributes you listed that aren’t really necessary? For example…beauty?
What does “heroic” mean to you? Do you think of daring acts of bravery? Strong leadership? Triumph over great odds? Outstanding achievements in sports or entertainment?
(continued on next slide)
Heroism takes many forms, including these. There are as many ways to be heroic as there are individual lives. Ordinary people in ordinary circumstances perform countless acts of courage and sacrifice in everyday life. You probably know several people that have been heroes in your community or even in your own life.
A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the
strength to persevere and endure in spite of
overwhelming obstacles.
- Christopher Reeve
