ASL Video introduction
How Many Heroes Can You Name?
- Project the video and encourage students to name the heroes.
- Divide students into small groups and ask them to come up with a list of ten ideas or thoughts in answer to the question: What makes people important enough to be called a hero or to have a special holiday named after them?
- Have students combine their lists into one large list. Have them discuss and debate the order of importance of each of the items on the list.
