My Personal Hero

My Personal Hero 

Tuesday, May 29
You are going to write a text about someone who is your personal hero.
You will write in ChromEx, size 12 and at least 250 words.
Read the text below and watch the video. Feel free to bring a mind-map. 

Writing task

The term hero has different meanings in different contexts. Heroes are people who sacrifice their lives to safeguard other people’s lives and interests.

A person who acts with courage and strength saving human lives and property or stops a bad incident from taking place is called a hero. The act is not for monetary gains but out of humanity and selflessness. Political leaders, past and present, like Abraham Lincoln, John Kennedy, Obama and others in the USA, or Nelson Mandela in Africa are idols of many. Heroes could also include sportsmen, singers, entrepreneurs etc, those who stand as examples of heroic feats.

In our day to day life we come across many incidents where we hear about brave acts done by men and women. These could include saving lives of human and property during calamities like fire, thefts and accidents. 

• Introduction:

A statement describing the character of the hero

• Background:

Action where the heroics took place with
supporting details

• Characteristics of hero:

His positive and negative action with details of
how even his negative actions were for the
benefits of public. Supporting details should be
given.

• Heroic Acts:

The present actions due to which the topic is being
written with supporting examples.

• Conclusion:

The impact of the write up on the hero and ending
the topic by reflecting the actions of the superhero.
