A creative writing unit suitable for High School, Middle School and Elementary/Primary level pupils based on the idea of superheroes. This is a detailed resource containing a range of writing activities: short story, informative, biography and comic strip. Contains a huge number of resources and detailed lesson plans for **16 lessons**. Also included are a selection of detailed, engaging powerpoint lesson presentations - but I suggest you also use clips of your favourite superheroes to highlight points, especially explaining character motivation etc.
With superhero movies continuing to take the box office by storm now's the perfect time to capture the interest of your students with a superhero themed creative writing resource. After all, who doesn't love a superhero? Pay homage to the legend that was Stan Lee by teaching your students all about the world of superheroes that he loved. With Birds of Prey, Wonder Woman 1984, Eternals, Black Widow and loads more all hitting cinema screens this year, comic book fever is gripping the world. Use this full stocked lesson pack to heat up your classroom. Although it might seem strange to ditch Dickens for Marvel or Shakespeare for DC, there's more to these popular publications than meets the eye. Comic books and superhero films explore the culture of our time, just as great novelists delved into the social issues of theirs.
**These resources have been recommended by TES several times over the years! They were even used as the basis of a competition in Irish schools.**

"The country that gave us Spider-Man, Batman and the Incredible Hulk is still obsessed with superheroes - particularly in the classroom. One of the nation's favourite resources is this series of PowerPoints and worksheets designed to help pupils understand the genre while developing their own storytelling skills. Pupils analyse film clips and comic books, develop character profiles by creating [top value] cards and design a map of a fantasy city for a superhero to live in. They then create their own superhero, write their biography and develop a short story on the theme "The day I discovered I had superpowers"." Victoria Grace Walden - TES article
*UPDATED* All new lesson plans looking at disability, body image, gender and ethnicity with regards to superheroes. Perfect material for tackling sensitive subject areas by using the medium of comics and superheroes to get students to critically engage with PSHE and reflect upon their own lives.
A simple printout worksheet for a cover lesson.
Students are given a faint template of a superhero and asked to design their own superhero. Students will also need to draw out an emblem/logo for their hero, list their abilities and weaknesses and write a brief story explaining how their superhero gained their abilities.
The resource contains both male and female superheroes. A perfect quick printout for a emergency cover lesson.
These are a series of worksheets and information I have collated into a full project.
The theme of the project is MASKS & IDENTITY
Within the project, there are a number of mini sections relating to different mask types. I have uploaded these individually (see below) as they are perfect for cover / homework / one off lessons. I will also upload the full project once I have added the finishing touches.
Available worksheets:

Venetian Carnival
Each upload contains a PowerPoint and PDF. I created the resources on a MacBook and sometimes Windows PowerPoint can open the fonts and formatting slightly off, so I wanted to offer both versions! You can also edit the PowerPoint to make it suitable for the students you teach.

‘Superheroes!’ is one of a series of outstanding assemblies created for primary school children, which includes full script songs and prayers with a part for every child. This assembly is ready to go!
‘Superheroes’ links with many areas of the National Curriculum, including the: English, Music, Drama, History and PSHE spheres, with a theme that is rooted in upstanding values and is relevant to the children’s everyday lives and interests - including a healthy ‘self-esteem’ injection for all! This assembly is all about recognising the ‘superhero’ in you, giving each child the chance to shine by stating their own unique ‘superhero’ power - from amazing reading skill or artistic genius to the sports star or reliable friend. This assembly also teaches to spot the ‘superhero’ in others and to be thankful for those who support and save us in a hundred little ways every day.
There is a part for every child - whether acting, singing, dancing or leading a prayer!
Plans created by an Ofsted Good - Outstanding primary school teacher - History and Drama coordinator with over ten years of experience. These outstanding assemblies have consistently engage and excited all 30 performers in class… and have even got the adults in the audience up on their feet!
Every week we dedicate one lesson to Enrichment. Over 2 terms, we focused on Superheroes and Comics for Year 7. I started by discussing characteristics with students before moving on to students creating their own superheroes including writing their own stories. After 2 terms, students had created their own superhero and story arc which they then transferred to comic strips which were displayed at our first ever Comic Con, which I had a lot of fun planning!
- Includes fun starters for each lesson.
