The Importance Of Superheroes In The Classroom

Adam Hogue, in his article “Why Do Americans Love Superheroes So Much?,” discusses the reasons behind the popularity of the superheroes. Hogue’s purpose is to instill the idea that superheroes are popular due to their static personalities. First, he illustrates his opinion with his anecdote about Captain America: “Sure, there were some slightly different nuances here and there, but for the most part, he was the same man…The superhero is someone we deeply trust” (para 9). Here the author describes how his personal attachment to Captain America was due to his unchanging personality and how the Captain “wasn’t going to be dead forever” (para 9). Not only this, Hogue demonstrates his ideas by using Spiderman as an example: “With

Directions: Choose an element from the list and create a superhero profile. On the next page, you will design a superhero and create a tagline that embodies the characteristics of your element, including the atomic number, symbol, and name. On the page following that, you will tell the origin story of your element. Be creative when telling your element’s story, which may be told in any format you wish, such as a myth or cartoon. A superhero sidekick or nemesis may also be included but you must choose an element that either combines well or has a violent reaction with your chosen element. A rubric for this activity is included at the end of this worksheet.

When it comes to superheroes, most of them have costumes, nickname, and certain powers that make them unique. The Google definitions of the term “superhero” is “fictional characters with superhuman powers.” In today’s world, there are superheroes who do not have superhuman abilities but use human materials to fight crime.

Our reading for this week is from the uniquely formatted book written by Harry and Rosemary Wong titled, “The First Days of School; How to be an Effective Teacher.” The focus section of our reading is based in Unit C of the text, which focuses of Classroom Management.

Essentially each chapter of this text follows the same format. There will be a few paragraphs discussing what “effective teachers” would do followed by a few paragraphs about what “ineffective teachers”

Veterans are honored yearly with Veterans Day and every day in our hearts. We are very thankful for everything that they do for us and our country. Our veterans go out and risk their lives to give us freedom, they leave their families behind, and they come home with diseases that are horrible. All for our freedom. We are very grateful for all that the veterans do each and every day.

An archetype is an universal theme or pattern in literature, television, and character. One of today's archetypes is superheroes. They all tend to start from a tragic, usually family death, background, but somehow they constantly want to ameliorate the world. Then at some point, they will discover a gift they have and use their inhuman powers towards the benefit of humanity. However, they all have a weakness that reminds them that they are human. They will learn to cope with their problems and eventually overcome it. My example of this archetype is Supergirl on the CW. Her family dies on Krypton, when it explodes, but sends her to Earth to take care of her cousin (Superman). Because he was already Superman when she arrived, she had

Early on in The Incredibles, superheroes are viewed as a negative idea by the public and must become solely their secret identity as an ordinary person, though that does not keep each of them from working undercover, which leads to the government having to intervene with special programs to help. One of the programs mentioned in the movie is one that pays off civilians to keep quiet about certain superhero instances, such as when Mr. Incredible made a scene at his office. This is an act of the government subsidizing the people with payments of money in order to keep them quiet, as represented in Graph (a), where the shift from S1 to S2 is the subsidy. In order for the government to subsidize people as such, they must have a way of getting the

Comic book industries have been the main establishers for the new American youth culture. This has also been well used to settle a cultural representation for communism, wartime-propaganda, and, to those adults who thought their child acting rude was caused by comics, a sign of the decline of comic books, thus making the industry fall into consensus and conformity. Ever since the first comic book was created in the 1930’s, Americans have been greatly influenced because of its vast enjoyment. Whether from romance to war or justice to crime, comic books have forever changed popular culture and can definitely portray how, at different times in U.S. history, people understood and interpreted events around the globe. This becomes apparent in the film Comic Book Superheroes: Unmasked when the

Dear future self, I learned in the superhero unit i learned that I can do anything if I have a fixed mindset. Also I learned to not have a wish but you can make it your goal in life and that anything is possible. One of the things I want to do is to become better at pitching in baseball. Also I want to be a good player wherever the coaches want me to play and have my name recognized by people. Something that is on my mind is to try to get on honor roll.

If i’m not in the mlb I hope I will have a good paying job and it is a job I will enjoy doing or something i'm good at doing not something I don't like doing.

A superhero’s main characteristic is to be able to a unique individual which will separate them from being categorized with the typical other “heroes”. Coogan states that a “superhero” is an individual that exemplifies the three main characteristics mission, power and identity.
