UNIT 1
The Challenge of Heroism
Visual Prompt: What do you picture when you hear the word hero? What words and images immediately come to mind?
Unit Overview
This unit focuses on the challenges of heroism. Because this word is used every day—in television shows, movies, video games, books, the news, school, and conversations—we rarely take time to actually think about what
it means. In this unit, you will research, read, and write to develop a more complex understanding of this important societal and cultural concept.
