My Hero Project Wrap-up

This is just a reminder that we will be wrapping up our My Hero research projects next week. You should have your written draft and your online typed paper ready for peer review next Wednesday (December 12th). You will be submitting your handwritten copy and your printed online paper together on Thursday, December 13th. As a class we will be submitting our research papers for review by the My Hero organization for possible online publishing.

I'm excited to see your final products. Remember, your research paper needs to be a minimum of 5 paragraphs in length. You will also need a picture of your hero to upload to your paper. If your hero is a family member, you will need to either upload a digital picture of them or bring in a picture for scanning.

Because a few of the students in our class our doing research papers on Bethany Hamilton, I thought you might enjoy watching the following trailer from a documentary about her life. Take a look at this video before you continue on today with your papers. Click on the Link Below.
