Teacher presents the lesson objectives, explains students what they would be able to do by the end of this lesson.

1. Warm-up.

Ask students what a “hero” is and if they know any heroes. Write heroes they name on the board or a chart. If they name fictional heroes along with people, or occupations, from everyday life, list them in a separate column and use the opportunity to discuss the difference between heroes on television or in movies (some of whom might be “superheroes”) and real-life heroes. Direct students to look for all kinds of heroes. Ask them to explain why they are considered to be a hero for them.

Alternative activity

Or let students watch a video what kids think about heroes and ask learners to share their opinions if they agree or disagree with them.
