I love the brown bag seminar idea for teaching about hero's. Everyone loves a surprise so if the students are asked to bring things representing their hero, in a bag...the suspense for the other children will be great. The anticipation of what is going to be in the bag, who their hero is, is a very engaging activity. It gets me excited just writing about it.
Hero's come in all shapes and sizes, whether it be a historical character, movie star, a parent or even an animal, children all have one. When they share it using the brown bag seminar, it becomes personal to them and memorable. The other students waiting and watching to see who the hero is by the things pulled out of the bag is exciting. This type of instruction can provide many literacy options, students can go write about who the hero of the day is. It can also provide class discussions that will benefit learners of all types.
I will be student teaching Kindergarten so the idea of the students bringing a bag with surprises in it is right up my ally! So excited!!!
