Engage your students in studying their favourite superheroes!

Superheroes have been capturing the imaginations of people since the early 1930s. Superheroes are fictional characters who use superpowers to protect people and fight for good. Many, such as Superman and The Flash, are positive examples of how people can strive to improve the world around them. From Superman’s ability to fly to Thor’s ability to summon lightning, there are a variety of superpowers that superheroes possess. For this assignment, students choose a superhero to study and create a project to showcase their learning.

This resource guides students through conducting their own research report on a superhero (70+ topics are listed). After choosing a topic to focus on, students are asked to conduct research using the Internet and books while following criteria. Next, students are asked to share their learning by creating a poster board, presentation board, power point presentation, or dodecahedron (Instructions and Pentagon Template included). Artwork may also be created to further display learning. Finally, students present their work to the class. To help students choose a research topic (and to introduce the project to the class) we have included a PowerPoint that features the Top 10 Research Topics.

Project-Based Learning (PBL) is a student-centered pedagogy in which students are challenged to actively learn about a subject for an extended period of time. It is a form of active learning or inquiry-based learning. Project-Based Learning is in contrast to paper-based, rote memorization, or teacher-led instruction that presents established facts. Please be aware of what you are purchasing.
