Lesson Plans for Your Classroom

Happy Spring!

We've put together lesson plans curated by the MY HERO staff with links to content from our multi-media library of short films, stories and art that can be used within a classroom period, or over the course of this month, to explore these timely themes.

This April we are featuring:


These MY HERO lesson plans deepen the students' understanding of these topics and can be used as essay prompts and discussion starters and can be used to inspire your students to create their own media tributes to the heroes in their lives.

Click on the images below and share this email with your colleagues.

We value your feedback about how you use these lesson plans in your classroom and hope you share your feedback with MY HERO teacher Laura Nietzer.

Warm regards,

The MY HERO Team
