MY HERO : A SCHOOL PROJECT
In Hachiko, the film we recently watched, the hero was a dog
and it was a beautiful story of love and loyalty.
There are many other heroes ( men, women, children, even animals)
whose story could also be worth telling.
Why don't we have a look at some of those stories?



Task 1
Read the summary of some of the stories in this website

Task 2
Decide what kind of story you're going to tell.
Use the following questions as a guide for your writing.

• Who is your hero?
• Where and when did he/she live?
• What did he/she do?
• Why is this person important for you / for other people / for the rest of humanity..?

Important!!
Use Google Docs to write your essay.
(Remember to allow the teacher see and EDIT your page!!)
Once your writing has been corrected, you can copy and paste it in your personal blog.
GOOD LUCK!!
