My Hero

Worksheet Description

The “My Hero” worksheet is designed to encourage students to reflect on individuals they admire and articulate the reasons for their admiration. This exercise prompts students to delve into the stories of real people who inspire them, offering a platform to share personal heroes with their classmates. The worksheet guides students through a series of thoughtful questions starting with “Who is your hero?” This allows students to identify someone they look up to, whether a public figure, a community member, or a personal acquaintance.

The subsequent questions, “Where is this person from?”, “What did this person do?”, and “Why do you admire this person?” provide a structure for students to explore and present the background, accomplishments, and admirable qualities of their chosen hero.

This worksheet serves as a powerful tool for students to recognize and celebrate the varied traits and actions that can make someone a hero in their eyes.
