## 6 Heroes

In this theme you will focus on Heroes.
We begin by looking at superheroes – and why they appeal to our imagination.
Then we compare and contrast two young people who are considered to be heroes by their communities. These are every day stories that could happen to anyone. But would you have the presence of mind to do what these young people did?
Next we look at one of the most popular international teen heroes, Malala who was shot by the Taliban for wanting to go to school. She won the Nobel Peace Prize.
Next we return to a reality that you can probably relate to: school lunch time and you have nowhere to sit, or at least you probably know people who are ‘left out’. Well, an app has been developed by a bright young girl to deal with that.
To round up this topic of Heroes, you will be asked to find out about an unsung hero, or rather, someone who has done something you consider heroic but quietly.
