What is the difference between Hercules and Spiderman? Both are heroes, right? Kids identify the characteristics that make a hero, and analyze the differences between heroes of long ago and today. They write creative stories describing a modern-day hero of their own invention. The lesson inspiration comes from a painting of a hero from 1844.
