Lesson Plan For Teachers - The lesson plan, written by teacher Jerrilyn Jacobs, helps teachers direct their students to identify, research and write about their hero, then take their ideas and research material and develop them into a short film. The lesson plan focuses on basic media literacy skills as students develop images, text and sound, incorporate movement, and edit the elements together into a visual tribute to their hero.
