Abstract | In this article, the author vitalizes her British literature course by asking seniors to investigate, through an I-Search paper, the concept of heroism. Students research a historic or contemporary individual, drawing on their understanding of heroic literary figures previously studied, and interview family, community members, and others connected to their research. On their journey, the students continually revisit the question, What truly makes a person a hero? (Contains 1 figure and 2 notes.) (ERIC). |
