Create a make-believe town of “Hero Land” and make 15 landmarks with a map and index.

A football field starting at the 14 yard line and one hero on each yard line until you get to the biggest hero as the Touchdown at the end zone.

A racetrack with 15 cars on the track with your biggest hero crossing the finish line. (Sorry it’s NASCAR and football season and that’s all I’m thinking right now…..not exactly by choice.)

Or you can make a huge tv out of cardboard or something and a remote and you “change the channel” each screen is a different hero.

If this is a group project you can do like a Deal or No Deal thing with the suitcases.

Oh one more thing, baseball trading cards.

Ok this is all I have for now, hope that helps. Good luck!

How about making a “Ken Burns” style documentary (i.e. Civil War, or the new World War documentaries on PBS). You could intersperse photos, with music background and possibly a narrative. If some of your “Heros” are local individuals, you could do interviews of them and/or people who knew them. If not, get interviews of people who “also” see them as “Heros”.

There are many programs for Windows and Mac that would allow you to do this with a scanner and a camcorder. You can even burn it to a DVD that could be played in any DVD player… at school or home!

Good Luck!

You can get a potted flower plant or small tree, with each flower or branch being a hero. You can say something like:

For the Flower: All of my heros have grown to become a part of me and a part of who I hope to be one day.

For the Tree: Like the tree a person is made of many branches. You take something special and learned away from each hero and those you look up to. As the branches of a tree, I hope my heros’ goodness will be within me.

Or something…sorry if you don’t like it
