A Holiday For A Hero…….Who Doesn’t Have One

by acobb7

ice_storm_047Students, we have many holidays that are dedicated to individuals or special people whose legacies we wish to celebrate. A sampling of some are Columbus Day, Presidents Day, and Martin Luther King Day, which inspired this blog post.

I would like for you to think about someone you admire who is not honored with a holiday. This person may be someone from history who is not currently being honored with a holiday, another famous person, a family member, or someone else you admire. (no classmates) Imagine that you have been asked to create a holiday for someone you feel is deserving of one.

Please tell me your definition of what makes a hero.

How does the person you choose to honor fit this definition?

In your response you must include the following information and tell me “why?”:

Name of the person to be honored

A title for the holiday

Date for the holiday

Songs or music for the holiday

Specific foods for the holiday

Holiday colors

Any special clothing, decorations, etc.

How does your superhero relate to Ponyboy, Dally, or Johnny from The Outsiders? What kind of characteristics do Ponyboy, Dally, and Johnny share with your superhero? In what parts of the book are Ponyboy, Dally, and Johnny  superheroes? Please explain.

Survey Says…

by jacob14

What does the survey say? Well, as we know, a hero is someone who wholeheartedly helps another or others out of the kindness of his/her heart even if it is risky to his/her own life and health. In the past couple of weeks, there was a tragic event that ended up leading a man to be hailed as a hero. Who was the man and why was he so important? Also, can you think of any other people who are currently or have recently been viewed as heroes?
