My Hero!
Honor personal heroes for Women's History Month.

Celebrate Women's History Month by encouraging students to write about women who have affected their lives.
- Explore with students the Web site Women Who Left Their Stamp on History to learn about women who have changed or influenced history. Discuss with students what qualities made those women successful.
- Invite students either to read a short story from My Hero Stories or watch a video from My Hero Short Film Festival.
- Discuss with students the qualities that define a hero.
You might want to have younger students complete and discuss the What Makes a Hero? and Who Are Your Heroes? worksheets instead of completing steps two and three above.
- Invite each student to interview and write about a woman he or she knows and admires. Provide students with such resources as
- Have students write biographies of the women they've interviewed. Students might use the following resources to create their biographies:
- Display completed biographies on a classroom bulletin board titled My Hero! You also might want to display students' biographies on a Web site created using The Educator eCreate Program.
