What Makes you a Super Hero, is a online picture book written by a middle school student, Danika Gordon. This is a wonderful book that explains the qualities of a real super hero, and how you can be one. It talks about traits like being trustworthy, respectful, fair. etc. In this online book, the child is actual able to insert their name in the book so they can become the hero in the story. This book allows students to self reflect.
Was this a good story?
Yes, I really enjoyed this book becasue of the traits they explained that made up a hero. (Not superpowers and magic, but kindness and respect)
Did the main character overcome the problem?
Yes, becasue he was able to become a hero after understanding the traits that make up a super hero.
What did the author want to tell me in the story?
She wanted to tell readers that anyone can be a hero. If someone is kind to others, and is respectful they too, can be a hero.
Did the characters fit the setting?
Yes, the characters fit the setting. I really enjoyed it showed many different types of people and how they were heroes. Also, it was great that students had the option of typing in their own name.
Lexile level: not shown
Mini Lesson: I would have students create a poster on themselves, and explain how they are a hero in general, and some of the qualities they have that make them a hero. OR they can create their poster on something they personally did for someone else, that they found heroic. If students do not want to talk about themselves, they can create a poster on someone who they find a hero.
