Welcome back, students! I hope you had a wonderful Fall Break!

To start things off, you need to survey at least three classmates about what they did over Fall Break.

1. Write down the students' names.

2. Ask them what they did over Fall Break.

3. Ask them what they wish they had done over Fall Break.

Be sure to record all of your answers. We will compile the responses together as a class.

Finally, work with your partners. Compile and analyze the data you got from surveying the younger students. Make a table for all of your data; see if you can make any conclusions about the answers you got.

Ask each other if there are any common heroes between the students you interview? Does it seem that students of a certain age group like a certain type of hero? Do heroes change as we get older?

Write down your conclusions to share with the class.

If time allows, all the groups will share their conclusions and we will see if we can answer our driving questions with the information each age group has found.

Driving Questions

Do our heroes change as we get older?

Do different groups of students have different types of heroes?

Based on the results of our surveys, do you think our heroes change as we get older? Why? What data did you see tho supports this?
